To get the maximum benefit from lectures, and to be successful in this course, students are expected to put forth a strong independent study effort. This includes carefully reading the text, preferably ahead of lecture, and diligently working on homework problems. In lectures, I will focus on important concepts and problem areas instead of just reiterating material in the book. The course covers data summary and presentation, random variables and distributions, estimation, confidence interval, hypothesis testing, analysis of variance, linear regression, design of experiments and statistical process control.

It is absolutely essential that you do the assigned homework-and additional problems if needed. Late submissions of homeworks will not be accepted. This course will have three exams (Exam 1: September 25, Exam 2: October 30, and Final: Monday, December 15, 1-3pm). No compensation for missed exams will be considered unless prior approved arrangements have been made.

A course total score will be based on the following,

homeworks: 25 %
two midterms: 25 % each
Final: 25 %

This class will be graded roughly on the scale of 90 % = A range (A-, A), 80 % = B range (B-, B, B+), 70 % = C range (C-, C, C+), 60 % = D range (D, D+), 60%- = F.

Cheating will not be tolerated. Cheating will result in at least a failing grade on the assignment or examination in question and possibly a failing grade for the entire course.
