Assignment

Description

For this assignment, you will be creating a two-page handout that can be given to freshmen in your field to persuade them that developing skills to interpret and use probability and statistics will be an important part of their professional future. The document will have two elements, first, what are probability and statistics used for in your field, and second, a review of provided data to use as evidence that this knowledge is more important than they think for getting started in their profession. This document will use a minimum of 6 sources, some of which may be taken from the probability and statistics in your field page, however, at least two much be credible sources you find on your own. As part of this assignment, you will be expected to present this in a way that is visually appealing to fellow college students, tells a story, is appropriately formal for a college document, and is grammatically correct.

Deliverable: A two-page handout (it may be 8.5″ x 11″ or 8.5″ x 14″) for freshmen in your field to present the role of probability and statistics in your field and its importance in them being career-ready.

Completing the Assignment

Complete Research. Complete research on the use of probability and statistics in your field. I have provided some resources to get you started in the probability and statistics in your field page, you may use as many of these sources as you wish but must find two additional sources of your own.

Connecting to the USF Library from off-campus. (Links to an external site.) Connecting to the library from off-campus requires a few specific steps that allow the library to see you as a student and allow you full access to USF library resources. If you do not complete these steps you may not be able to access the material you should have access to. Please review the hyperlinked library skills guide.

Review Input Information. You will have input information for two elements of the hand out you are developing.

The Use of Statistics in Your Field. Be sure that you have enough information to complete this section. Each field will vary in the use of statistics but some of the things that can be addressed include phases of the work were statistics are used, the purpose of using statistics in your field, what type of input into the work of your field statistics provides, and ways the applications of statistical methods of findings are changing because of technology developments. Where it is possible includes references to probability and statistics terms from your textbook’s first two chapters in italics. Consider if any of the graphics from your source documents will help your explanation.

Evidence of the Value of Probability and Statistics in Starting your Career. Review the data provided in the two articles linked below and determine first, what the data suggests, and second, how this can be used as part of persuading freshman in your field that probability and statistics will be important as they start their career. Determine what aspects of the data support the “story you are telling” in your handout and how to best present it so the freshman look at it and understand how the data supports what you are saying.

Use this article – Career Readiness Defined (Links to an external site.)– to be clear on what the data represents and which competency/competencies this class addresses

Compose Content. You will complete a two-page document to introduce incoming freshmen in your field to the importance of probability and statistics to your field. For this, you will complete research which may start with sources identified on the page the importance of probability and statistics to your field, a page that contains sources for each department in the College of Engineering. You must identify a minimum of additional two sources not already on the list. Your content will include 5 APA cited sources at a minimum. When creating engaging material having relevant graphics makes your document easier to look at, include at least two relevant images. Your images must be labeled and cited (see the exemplar).

APA in-text citation formatting (Links to an external site.)

APA reference list formatting (Links to an external site.)This section provides a description of each element of a reference list item after which are examples of different types of sources reference list formats.

Create a Document. After working out the content you will create a handout that will fit on two sides of one 8.5″ x 11″ page. This document must be appealing to fellow undergraduates, something they would like to pick up and read, which is best done through the introduction of color (limited) and relevant visuals (visuals should not be more than 30% of your document). It must also be easy to digest, which is best done through a strong organization with clearly identified sections and section titles.

Proofreading, revising, and editing. Professional documents must be readable, clear, well organized, and concise. They must also be free of errors. Two approaches will help you with this. First, read your work out loud to yourself after having stepped away from it for some time. This will help you catch wording errors or omissions and poorly constructed sentences. Second, use advanced grammar software to check for grammar, punctuation, or other writing errors. I recommend the base paid platform of Grammarly, however, there are others available as well.

Assignment Submittal and Grading

Assignment Submittal. This assignment is uploaded to Canvas as a pdf. Why a pdf? While not perfect, pdf is the best format for transferring material that is formatted to others in a way that retains your formatting. (Additionally, some other formats may not be readable at all by your grader and would result in a zero on the assignment.) Check your work once it is uploaded to make sure 1) it was uploaded to Canvas; 2) you uploaded the correct material.

Assignment Grading. There are three areas of concern on the grading

  1. You have completed sufficient research to present the required material.
  2. You have written the document in a way that is appealing and understandable to your assigned audience, professional in tone, concise, and correct.
  3. Your document is well organized and visually appealing.

Several other elements of your work if poorly done will result in points loss. (No points are awarded for these elements as you are expected to be able to accomplish these)

  • Your document is incomplete
  • Your document demonstrated that the proofreading, revision, and editing step was not completed.
  • Excessive use of quotes.
