Text: Applied Linear Statistical Models, 4th edition, by Neter, Wasserman, and Kutner.

Grading:   Final grades are based on these 700 points:

        Topic                      Points  Tentative Date Chapters
 Exam 1 One-Factor ANOVA           100 pts. February 19   14,15,16
 Exam 2 Multifactor ANOVA I        100 pts. March 6       18,19
 Exam 3 Multifactor ANOVA II       100 pts. March 29      20,21,22
 Exam 4 Randomized Block Designs   100 pts. April 24      24,25,26,27
 Exam 5 Other Experimental Designs 100 pts. May 10        28,29
 Homework                          200 pts. Mostly Weekly


Final grades are assigned as follows:

 630 pts. or more A
 595 pts. or more AB
 560 pts. or more B
 525 pts. or more BC
 490 pts. or more C
 455 pts. or more CD
 420 pts. or more D
 419 pts. or less F

I reserve the right to lower these point values at the end of the semester. That is, fewer than 630 pts. may still earn an A. (This is my version of a "curve"!)

Homework & Quizzes: There will be ten (10) homework assignments each worth twenty (20) points. Late homework will not count for full-credit. Cooperation on homework is encouraged; copying is not. You are urged to work together on homework to solve problems; however, each of you must submit your own write-up.

Office Hours: My office hours for Spring 1996 semester are 10:20 to 11:15 Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, 8:30 to 11:15 Tuesday and Thursday, or by appointment. There are many other times when I am in my office. If I am in and not busy, I will be happy to help.

Philosophy: I strongly believe that you, the student, are the only person who can make yourself learn. Therefore, whenever it is appropriate, I expect you to "discover" the mathematics we will be exploring. I do not feel that "lecturing" to you will teach you how to do statistics. I hope to be your "guide" while we learn some statistics, but you will need to do the learning. I expect each of you to come to class prepared to discuss the day's material. That means you will have to pre-read each section of the text very carefully before class.

My idea of teaching / learning is not "Teaching is telling and learning is listening". I believe that you must be active in the learning process to learn well. My job as a teacher, therefore, is not to "tell" you the answers to the problems we will encounter; rather it is to point you in a direction which will allow you to see the solutions yourselves. To accomplish that goal, I will work to find different interactive activities for us to work on. Your job is to use me, your text, your friends, and any other sources as resources. Remember, the goal is to learn mathematics, not to pass the exam. (Incidentally, if you have truly learned the material, the test results will take care of themselves.)
