Homework

Any question in which you missed any points needs to be redone entirely. The breakdown of points per question will be the same, i.e.,

• Q1 12 points
• Q2 15 points
• Q3 18 points
• Q4 15 points
• Q5 40 points

However, each question will be graded as entirely correct or not correct. There will be no partial credit.

You must be exceptional careful in how you answer your regression questions

Mentors will be able to check answers during their sessions. I can answer questions, but I cannot check your answers.

Redo

If you scored less than a 70%, you are welcome to make up your exam. The requirements for doing so are as follows:

• Rather than a note card, create a multiple-page study guide that covers the topics listed it the Exam 1 Topic List in detail. This includes example plots, example tables, summary statistics and definitions. You are welcome (and encouraged) to pull these examples from the homework and labs
• Upon completion of the study guide, we will schedule a day to makeup the exam. Exams are rescheduled for 7am on any day but Saturday. Athletes may scheduled to have their exams taken in the evenings
• You will be permitted to use the study guide you created for the exam
• You can obtain up to 70% of your points back for the exam i.e., your new score will be the minimum of 70% or your new score
• Study guide and exam redo must be completed by start of fall break
