Title: Textbook Comments for Exam 1
Course: PSYC 301 Statistical Methods in Psychol > Section: First Part of Course

The textbook for this course is excellent, but sometimes goes into more detail and into areas that are either not typically taught in an undergraduate statistics course, or areas that I feel are not appropriate for FSU Psychology's statistics course.

Below are portions of the textbook on which to focus and portions to not to worry about for the upcoming exam, chapter by chapter.

Remember, you are not doing any calculations on the exam. So, you will not need a calculator nor need to study how do do hand calculations.

Chapter | Focus these sections/pages | Ignore these sections/pages
1 | All | --
2 | Nearly all, see to the right for exceptions | 2.7.5, 2.7.6
3 | * | *
4 | Most, see to the right for exceptions | 4.2.2, 4.2.3
5 | Most, don't ignore 5.2.3, because it talks about filters. | 5.2, 5.2.1, 5.2.2

* For Chapter 3, nearly all of the textbook material is very mechanical and assessed by your OAs and MPs. However, I did present additional material in-class that may be the source of test questions.
