One of the goals of this course is to foster learning and reasoning from data. This course is centered around a collection of class activities, exposes the students to the basic statistical concepts, and emphasizes using the computer for data analysis and statistical applications. Your participation in each class is important to everyone, and I do expect you to attend class. Daily homework assignments will be given and they will be due on most Thursdays.
Group work is encouraged.
No late homework will be accepted without a verified excuse. The final exam will be self-scheduled during the final exam period in December. Your grades will be determined on the following weights. This schedule is a tentative guideline. It might be modified or changed in response to the class pace and interest.
