ONLINE TEXT:ThePearsonMyLab MyStatLab Access Code(ISBN-13: 9780321694645) can be purchased at either PearsonMyLab.com($95.20 as of Summer 2014) or the CCP Main bookstore ($123.55). Starting in the Summer session 2014, only a PearsonMyLab access code will be mandatory for my courses. PearsonMyLab contains ALL assignments, videos, and the text online ("Elementary Statistics," 12th Edition by Mario F. Triola, Boston: Pearson/Addison-Wesley, ©2014) so a printed textbook is optional.

Login to Canvas CCP.Instructure.com for Discussion, Module Timeline information, and Class Notes.

Read your text, watch videos/animations, and do all Assignments inPearsonMyLab.com by the due date(s) prescribed (given by me in class or in Canvas). Also, follow the Prospectus for learning objectives and outcomes.
