Students are encouraged to bring their textbooks and notes to the exams. The final exam WILL BE comprehensive and will require the student to apply their knowledge of statistics to specific research questions and studies. Make-up exams will be given at my discretion. In general, make-up exams will consist of an assignment to work every even or odd problem that follows the textbook chapters that were covered on the exam that was missed. In general, I will return the assignment with a grade by the next class meeting.
Students generally find it very difficult to catch-up after missing one or more class meetings.
In the event that you must miss class, you MUST let me know prior to your absence. If it appears that you will need to miss a number of classes due to work conflicts or personal issues, I suggest that you drop the course. Once a student misses two or three classes, it is almost impossible to catch up. Any student whose disabilities fall within ADA must inform the Tarleton State University ADA Officer, Dr. Dwayne Snider or Dr. Lamar Johanson, and the instructor at the beginning of the term of any special needs or equipment necessary to accomplish the requirements of the course.
