Paper Homework Assignments  
 Required


For each section of the text, use a single sheet of unlined (typing) paper to mind map all of the important terms, concepts and ideas, connecting related concepts and defining with single words and pictures all of the important terminology.  As related in the video, you should use curves to connect words, pictures to make associations, and color throughout.  Each section should be mapped out on at least one page with all relevant terms defined clearly.  These mind maps will be turned in with the rest of the paper homework.

Before each exam, you should study these maps to understand all of the statistical concepts and term in these sections and how the terms are related to each other.  You will be tested on concepts and terms almost as much as you will be tested on how to solve the problems.

Many have been confused exactly what to do for these mind maps.  There is tremendous freedom and creativity in how you can do your own mind maps, and I encourage you to get creative.  As long as you are (1) doing each section on a full page of unlined paper, (2) using color extensively, (3) incorporating very few words but lots of images, and (4) connecting all interrelated ideas with those curvilinear tentacles, you will be fine.  Here is a stellar example of what mind maps can be from a student, Lauri Evans, which I include only to show how these can be done and done well.  Please make your mind map your own with pictures, words, and connections that make sense to you.

Mind Map Rubric
Tasks for Each Mind Map Points
The mind map for the section fills the entire page of unlined typing paper. The center of each mind map contains the section number and name. 1
The mind map is hand-drawn using a variety of colors.  Related terms and ideas are connected with curved lines. 1
The mind map contains every term and significant idea in the section with a visual representation of the term 1

For the first half of the term, there should be 19 mind maps on 19 separate pages, with each page worth 3 points, for a total of 57 points.  All other problems in the homework, including 62 textbook questions and 60 exam review questions, are worth 1 point each.  So 57+60+62 = 179 points for the first half of the course.

For the second half of the term, there should be 12 mind maps on 12 separate pages, with each page worth 3 points, for a total of 36 points.  All other problems in the homework, including 41 textbook questions and 79 exam review questions, are worth 1 point each.  So 36+42+84 = 157 points for the second half of the course.
