Although there is a tendency to spend the majority of time practicing the computations involved in each chapter, quizzes will also test your knowledge of the terms and concepts covered in each chapter. The final exam will be comprehensive and will be worth 100 points. Any versions of the final exam taken earlier or later than the scheduled time will be considered make-up exams and will be worth a maximum of 90 points. Please do not wear a hat with a brim to quizzes or to the final exam. No exams will be given out after the first person leaves the test.
Statistical concepts become clearer and calculations become easier with repetition.
Credit for homework will constitute a substantial proportion of your final course grade. Please do your homework in pencil. The important thing about homework continues to be that you give it a good, honest try. One way to maximize the points you earn for homework assignments is to do the homework soon after it is assigned rather than shortly before it is due. Homework may be submitted if you are on time for class, if you participate during class, and if you stay for the entire class period.
