Your final grade for this course will be determined entirely by your performance on homeworks, midterms and final exam. Final grades may be adjusted. If you are taking the class S/N, you will need a C- or higher to earn an S grade.
Homework will be assigned on a weekly basis and it is due on Wednesday in class meetings. No late homework will be accepted for any excuse. It is possible that only part of the assigned problems will be graded. Graded homework will be returned on Tuesday lab. It is fine for students to work together on homework problems, but write-up of the solutions must be done independently. Your understanding of the lecture will be tested in each test. It is your responsibility to seek help on all problems that you cannot do.

There will be three exams in this course: each midterm takes one hour and the final will last 2 hours. If the exam date above overlaps with another exam you have, you need to inform the instructor and resolve this by the first three weeks of class.
You cannot miss any mid-term or final. Make-up will be given only for emergencies (proper documents must be submitted). Otherwise, if you miss the mid-term/final, you will receive a zero for the exam. Note that social/vacation plans are not legitimate reasons for missing an exam. See the University and School of Statistics policy on incompletes below.
University and department policy is that "I" grades are used only when there is a small amount of unfinished work that the student can complete on his or her own before the end of the following semester, when there was a legitimate excuse why the work could not be done on time, and when arrangements have been made with the instructor as to when the work will be done. "I" grades are not given when there is a large amount of work undone and the student would need to attend the class in the next semester to learn the material.
