In each of the papers, you will focus your powers of statistical reasoning on one aspect of research. Before each paper, I will distribute a handout outlining the question to be addressed. Writing assignments will be graded on a point scale to give you an incentive to write the best paper you can. The due dates for papers are noted on the schedule. You will always have at least one week to write a paper.
Papers are due at the beginning of class.
There will be three semester exams and a final. The dates of the exams are on the schedule. The handout for each unit will list the terms, concepts, and formulae that you should master by the end of that unit. The handouts will guide you to the important topics in each unit, and they will help you study for exams. The semester exams will cover the material indicated on the schedule.
