Th 5/6/04

End of group project. Final project report in hard copy should be submitted by 3:00 p.m. No electronic submissions will be accepted. Please remember that the group leader must submit an additional page with a paragraph recommending a point split and describing what each member contributed to the project. It is not sufficient to say, “Everyone contributed equally.” If the group leader report is missing or inadequate, the group leader will lose up to 10 points from his project score.

 

T 5/18/04

Field trip to National Cryptologic Museum, Fort Meade, MD. Bus will depart at 8:00 a.m. from the service road behind the Martin Gym. We will return by about 12:00, in time for you to finish up E period (if you still need to take the Must-Pass Quiz) and attend all of F period.

Normal dress code is in effect for the entire day. However, you may leave your jacket on the bus while you are inside the museum. You may wish to bring a few dollars for the soda and snack machines and/or gift shop at the museum. Admission is free.

If you do not go on the field trip, you must attend all of your non-STAtistics classes for the day.

If you have notified me of a need for extended time on your project, then I will accept the written version today until 3:00 p.m. without penalty. Don’t forget your group leader report page.
