Stat 243z - Elementary Statistics I​

Spring Term 2024 - I have an online class and now all of the materials can be found in D2L. All materials have been updated due to the Oregon Statewide Common Course Numbering project. You can use this site to get a feel for my teaching style.

We will be using a free online book and a free online homework system called MyOpenMath and free online statistics calculators.
