Grading Policy
Your course grade is a weighted average of the following
performance scores: homework (15%), computer lab (15%),
midterm exam (35%), and final exam (35%).
Exams
There will be one midterm
during the term.
It is scheduled for
Friday, May 10 .
The final is scheduled for
Thursady, June 13 .
All the exams will be in 210 Deady. For each exam,
you may bring one "formula sheet," i.e., one 8.5 by 11
sheet of paper with whatever formulas and notes you would find useful.
Homework
Homework is due WEEKLY in class on Mondays.
No homework will be accepted late. You may drop ONE homework.
If a situation develops in which you
need more than one homework dropped, such as a prolonged illness, you
should notify me as soon as possible verbally and in writing. You may
turn in homework early, of course, if you know in advance that you
will have to miss class.
Please do homework on 8.5 by 11 paper, folded once the long way. Put
your name on the front, but don't write
your student ID number on any homework paper.
Please pick up your homework in the paper return box outside Room 210 Deady.
Computer Labs
There will be 8 computer labs. You may drop ONE lab.
We will meet in Fenton 105 instead of our regular
classroom on the Wednesday indicated on the schedule.
Labs will be due on the following Wednesday .
We will use Minitab on the Macs in that room.
You may use any statistical software package and any word processing program you like
to finish the labs. I will not be able to help with the commands
except in Minitab.
Calculator
At the very minimum, you should have a calculator capable of handling two
variable statistics. The TI-82 will draw histograms and regression lines for
you and will be more than sufficient. The TI-83 is like having a small statistical
computer program at your desk and will perform all the statistical tests that we
learn in this course. It is your responsibility to learn how to use any calculator
you choose for this course.
Attendance:
Attendance is mandatory.
You are responsible for all the announcements, changes,
course information, and topics that I cover in class.
Lecture Notes:
Please print out a copy of my lecture notes and bring it to class so that
you don't need to waste time on taking notes. It is also assumed
that you already read text before each class.
If you cannot make my office hours, please feel free to stop by my
office anytime or use e-mail to ask questions.
