The course outline above is too old. Last year Dr. Thompson added assignments as well.
I thought this course was pretty easy in comparison to the rest of the courses for you next semester. The big thing in this course is the labs. Buy the course ware. It's basically the entire lecture series.
The lab reports are very Microsoft Excel based so you'll need a good grip on it. Marked reasonably fairly though.
The assignments are right out of the text book, I have a full solution manual I can send you to the fourth edition if you give me your email. Easy marks.
His midterm last year was very similar to the practice midterm he gave us. Go through the text and do his practice midterm. While you do this consider similar type questions.(simplified example: which type of graph would you use for ......purpose, look at all the other uses for the other graphs in text). If you do this, getting a good mark is very plausible.
Exam was similar to the midterm in style
Best of luck!
