Introduction
I am Professor Rupa Sinha. I live in Valencia with my husband and twin boys. I am going to teach this Introductory statistics course this fall. I am very excited to teach you guys. This class is very different from regular math classes where you do certain type of problems and have one answer. This course is analysis based where we do analyze data and do meaningful calculations with the help of computer software. And after we will interpret those calculations in sentences and focus more on conceptual knowledge rather than calculation.
Attendance is the key in order to succeed in the class. So, try to make each single class.
Good Luck.
