assignments
There will be regular homework assignments. The assignments contribute 30% of your grade. There will be three quizzes one at the end of each part of the course. Your best two of the three quizzes contribute 5% each to your grade. There will be a project after Spring Break that consists of a write-up and a class presentation and will involve either examining the use of statistics in some aspect of public life or looking at a specific use of statistics in your principal academic field. This will contribute 20% to your grade. A 24-hour, take-home, open-book final exam contributes 40% to your grade.
Attendance, class participation and prompt submission of homework are expected. Your performance in these areas will influence your final result by up to one letter grade.
