Exams

There will be one midterm during the term. It is scheduled for Friday, February 12 . The final is scheduled for Thur, March 18. All the exams will be in Deady 210. 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.

Quizzes

There will be five or six taken home quizzes. There will be no make-up quizzes. Your lowest quiz grade will be dropped.

Homework

Homework is due DAILY at the lectures. No homework will be accepted late. You may drop FOUR homeworks. If a situation develops in which you need more than four homeworks 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 (last name first, please) on the front.

Computer Labs

There will be 5 or 6 computer lab assignments. Your lowest lab score will be dropped. We may move our regular classroom to Fenton 105. Labs will be due on the following Wednesday. You are responsible for reading the Minitab Handbook that came with your text in order to figure out how to use the computer to complete your labs. However, you may use any statistical software package and any word processing program you like to finish the labs. The Fenton 105 is open to public use from 4:00-9:00 pm MTuWTh and from 1:00-9:00 pm on Sundays.

Attendance:

You are responsible for all the announcements, changes, course information, and topics that I cover in class. If you miss a substantial number of lectures (more than 5) without discussing the matter with me and without a valid excuse, I may refuse to accept homework from you, late or on time, unless you have attended class.

If you cannot make my office hours, please feel free to stop by my office anytime.
