Special Problems are designed to investigate and explore statistical topics in more depth. The point value for special problems will vary. The point value for each assignment will be 5. Homework will be evaluated primarily on effort. In addition, participation will be included in this category.
Participation is defined as communication with the instructor either by phone or e-mail.
Students on a six-weeks marking period are expected to communicate with me at least three times. Students on a nine-weeks marking period are expected to communicate with me at least five times.
