Course Policies

  • Prerequisite: STA 6207.
  • Turn off cell-phones and all electronic devices (except calculators) during class and exams.
  • Exams are closed-book/notes. Any relevant tables will be supplied.
  • No early exams will be given.
  • If due to medical or academic conference reasons, any make-up exams must be taken within 7 days of scheduled exam time.
  • E-mail is a terribly inefficient way to teach statistics. If you’d like to see a particular problem worked out in class, send a request in advance. Do not expect a typed detailed response. E-mail is not a substitute for attending instructor and TA office hours.
  • Note: Some course topics listed below were covered in STA 6207 and will be assumed without full “treatment”.
  • Most Computing will be done using SAS or R. When feasible, many examples will be done in spreadsheet format for illustration of principles.
  • Grades are not negotiable.

While attendance is not taken, students are expected to attend lectures and participate in class. Make-up exams will only be considered with documented medical event or conference attendance (graduate students). Early exams will be given under no circumstances. Assignments are to be handed in during class on the date the assignment is due in paper format. Electronic submission of assignments will not be accepted. Turn off cell phones during classes.
