In class Activities:

· Activity 2 grades are posted in e-learning

· All together the in-class activities will be worth 10 points.

· Since I don’t know how many we’ll do, each one is “graded” out of 10 points, and I will average them.

· Collecting them is mostly a way of taking attendance, since we did it together, so unless something is seriously wrong, everyone gets full credit.

· Correlation Applets

· DATA for Activity6
