說明
1. 
Participation 
5% 
As many of you are already aware of how notorious this class is, it should be intuitive to you that classroom participation is the key to the success of this course. Please help me make this course better by giving me your input in class and also outside the classroom. I would really appreciate it if you could all actively participate in classroom activities and discussions. 
2. 
Homework 
15% 
Homework assignments will be due in class on the due date. You should turn in the assignments typed or neatly handwritten. If you plan to hand in handwritten assignments, please be sure your handwriting is legible. Also, because solutions to assigned exercises will be discussed in class on the day that the homework is due, late homework CANNOT be accepted.  
3. 
Exam 1 
15% 
There are three exams in total. No make-up exams can be given except in the case of dire documented medical emergencies. All exams are non-cumulative. Please view exams only as a way to help me assess how well we have been doing. 
4. 
Exam 2 
20% 
 
5. 
Exam 3 
25% 
 
6. 
Project 
20% 
You are required to turn in a set of statistical analyses on your research project. The project does not have to be fully completed, but the data have to be real. You are required to apply what we have covered in class and select appropriate analyses for your data. You will be given 15-min presentation time slot on 1/5 for oral report—12 min for the actual presentation itself, and 3 min for questions and answers. During this time-slot, you are to defend the statistical analyses you choose and highlight whatever significant findings you have found in your study. The style of presentation should be formal. You can use whatever media you please. You will be graded on both your presentation skills and audience response. The written report is due on 1/7, Wednesday, at 5:00p. 10% of the grades will be deducted for each late day. It should be no more than a 10-paged, double-spaced, polished report incorporating the comments you have gathered in the presentation. The report should follow a formal format, and should include appropriate graphs, statistical details, and adequate interpretations.
