book. |
|
|
W
1/7/04 |
HW due:
Bring written evidence of your review work to class so that it can be scanned
while you are taking your test. At a minimum, this should consist of scratch
work and corrections for problems that you missed. Preferably, the page
number and problem number should also be shown. Notations made in the margins
of the Barron’s book do not count; you should have one or more sheets of
paper in your notebook. |
|
|
Th
1/8/04 |
HW due:
Submit by e-mail, no later than 10:00 a.m. today, your group’s best take on
your methodology writeup and release form. Submissions will be discussed in
class and graded at a maximum of 30 points per student. You may find the sample methodology discussion and
the 12/2/2003 calendar entry to be helpful.
Considerable attention to detail and anticipation of how to avoid having
things go wrong will be needed for full credit. Proofread your work
carefully. |
|
|
F
1/9/04 |
HW due:
Final revision of methodology and release form. These will be scored at a maximum
of 45 points per student. If you wish, you may delay submission until next
Wednesday without penalty. |
|
|
Sat
1/10/04 |
Please leave a message for
me (e-mail or voice mail) if you need extra help. I will try to get back to
you within a reasonable amount of time. |

I will not be available
today, but if you have an emergency I can respond by e-mail early Monday
morning. |
|
|
M

Midterm Examination, 2:00–4:00 p.m., Room S. Bring calculator, spare batteries, and several
sharpened pencils. You may use pen in the free-response section if you
prefer, but pencil is recommended. Pencil is required in the multiple-choice

furnished. |
|

Methodology/release
writeups will be accepted without penalty until 3:30 p.m. today, unless your
group has already been granted an extension. Requests for extensions must be
made, in writing, at least 24 hours in advance. |
|
|
Th
1/15/04 |
I received two submissions
late and one on time. Although I did agree to accept the two late submissions
without penalty, I think it is fair to award a bonus to Peter’s group, which
made the deadline with more than 2 hours to spare. |

|
F

HW due (reading notes and written paragraph): Continue reading in Chapter 9. Target is through p.
477. Also, in your notebook, carefully rewrite (paraphrase) the box on p. 459
in your own words, creating a definition that you will find meaningful and
memorable. Try to be accurate and complete in your rewording, without
parroting the meaning that is already there. Try to describe how you think of sampling distributions. |

|
Th
1/29/04 |
Test on Chapters 7 and
8. The format was supposed to
be multiple choice and short answer, but unfortunately I forgot and made a
test that was more similar to short answer and free response. I will make
this up to you in some way. |
|
|
F
1/30/04 |
HW due:
Please work all the problems on yesterday’s test.
If you do an accurate and thorough job, I will arrange for a significant
bonus to help improve your test score. Open notes, open Internet, open book,
open friends are all OK, but no copying is allowed. |
