We will be using the statistical package Minitab. Many homework problems will be quite easy to complete with the help of Minitab. There are three central expectations I have of students in this course.
Students are responsible for the material covered in class.
It will often happen that we are unable to discuss in class every aspect of a particular section. However, unless specifically indicated, students remain responsible for the sections in their entirety. Failure to attend class, even for a legitimate reason, does not absolve any student from the responsibility of material covered. If you miss a class, you should find out, as soon as possible, what you missed from those who attended. Careful reading of the book will not only reinforce the ideas presented in class but will also fill in details of the section that we sometimes are unable to cover during class time.
