An introductory course in statistics and probability that emphasizes the analysis and interpretation of variation in quality control. Topics include descriptive statistics (statistical tables and graphs, measures of central tendency and dispersion), a brief overview of probability theory, probability distributions, sampling distributions, confidence interval estimates, and one and two sample hypotheses tests of means and proportions. The statistical package MINITAB is used extensively by the instructor to illustrate statistical procedures and by students to complete assignments. |

... to SCI 220, The Physical World. I hope that you will discover how fascinating this subject matter is. During the next seven weeks you'll be actively engaged in learning new vocabulary and word roots?which may initially be difficult because many of them have Latin ancestry?and then putting that new vocabulary to practical use when you begin to learn the physiology that accompanies the new vocabulary. At times you will wonder if you are in the right course?you might think that you are a first-year medical student?but don?t worry. In addition to learning about your own human anatomy and its related physiology, you will be acquire an intelligent knowledge base that will be of great use in the fields of biology, pharmaceuticals, law, and business.
Be prepared to work hard. Look ahead and allocate a substantial block of time for reading, thinking about what you've read, taking advantage of the activities on the text website, and communicating with your classmates and your professor. Get out your ENG101 text and review the basic paragraph format and the essay format, because you will do a fair amount of writing in this course with MS Word. Be sure that you understand what constitutes plagiarism, because the repercussions are unpleasant, to say the least. You'll need, on average, 10-12 hours each week for coursework. Remember, everything takes longer than you think it will, so make plenty of room in your life for A&P these next seven weeks.
The "Announcements" area on the Course Home page is like a bulletin board where I can post messages throughout the seven weeks of the course. I hope that you will check this area several times a week, read all the announcements posted here, and that you will print out those that you want to keep handy all the time. They will remain posted until the course is over, so the list may get quite long. Feel free to respond to any of them, either publicly in the "Raise Your Hand" area or privately to me through the How to Communicate Dropbox. |

Because a knowledge and understanding of our planet is critical to our social well-being and vital to our survival, this course introduces the student to the interrelated systems of the earth -- astronomy, geology, oceanography, and meteorology. The course develops an awareness of the scientific principles that influence our planet, its rocks, mountains, atmosphere, and oceans. Students having little background in science can gain meaningful, non-technical basic earth science principles and concepts. |

This course approaches, in practical terms, a broad array of topics in contemporary biomedical informatics tools, algorithms and methods. In addition, selected topics are covered in depth to demonstrate the critical thinking and methodology that underlie biomedical informatics. Studies include power searches, data mining, biostatistics applications and use of tools such as BLAST. Controlled terminologies approaches, ontologies, data acquisition, data integration methods for search and optimization, and information retrieval are explored. Lab exercises relate to topics discussed. |
