Congratulations on being accepted into AP Statistics.
As mentioned in the syllabus there is a summer assignment.
1. Join the Edmodo Group for AP Stat 2016-2017 by Friday May 20th (2pt homework grade). Earn extra point if completed by Monday May 16th. (See note below if you do not have an Edmodo account.) If you have an account already, my Group Code is w3edzi.
2. Begin collecting articles that describe studies, experiments, or surveys. They will be used for the first semester scrapbook project which counts as a test grade. Students need 10 articles by October. Record the name of the magazine and the date for each article. You need the complete article. You may copy the article if you cannot cut up the magazine or newspapers. If you get things from the internet they should be from internet versions of magazines or newspapers (such as AJC. com).
3. Starting May 22nd you will need to check Edmodo each week for updates/assignments. I would suggest checking each Sunday. New assignments will be posted Sunday afternoons. You will be submitting all summer homework through Edmodo.
4. Bring back the syllabus the first day of class for extra credit.
If you have any questions, feel free to stop by and see me. You can also send me an email at send me a question through Edmodo. I will be checking email and Edmodo this summer. You need to check them at least once a week also.

If you don’t sign up to ask for notices when I post, you will need to check Edmodo daily.
