staf 

COURSE GOALS

  The successful completion of Statistics I will enable the student to analyse and evaluate statistical information (including using statistical software), sharpen mathematical skills, draw legitimate statistical inferences from sets of data and f rom the scientific literature, and communicate these results and the significance of these results to others.

 The goals of the course are:


HOMEWORK

 Formation of study groups is encouraged, but to succeed in this course students must individually work problems that apply the ideas that are presented in class and in the text. There will be weekly assignments (approximately 10) that will be collected and graded. Assignments will count 10 % of the final grade.

 Solution to the assignments must be written (clearly) using the terminology of the course. Reference of the results used must be given.

 


EXAMS

 There will be two midterm tests, each of one hour duration on the following dates:

Test #1 , October

Test #2 , November

The final exam is a COMPREHENSIVE examination. It counts 75 or 50 percent of the grade.  

GRADING

Points will be distributed as follows:

 
Grade Distribution Option 1 Option 2
Two partial exams  15  40
Assignments  5 10
Tutorial & Quizzes 5 10
Final Exam  75 40

OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS

 It is recommended that the student:

 

SOME ADVISE - Classroom attendance is strongly encouraged. Roll will be taken during the first part of the class until the instructor learns the names of the students. Attendance does not directly affect your grade, although on the basis of past experience, it is the truly exceptional student who can afford to miss more than two or three classes. Getting behind is almost always fatal in terms of completion of the course and grading. The correct way to study the material is to read the text before coming to class, listen carefully in class, following along with the problems, take notes , reread carefully the text at home, follow the examples, and finally, do the assigned homework.
