For the final exam 3 crib sheets (two- sided) will be permitted. Please note that a BLANK crib sheet is not allowed in the examination room. It shall be removed. There is sufficient space on the test paper to do your rough work. Any inappropriate crib sheets will be removed during the tests and examination. You must write your name on your crib sheet. We reserve the right to remove your crib sheet. 2. TEST/EXAM Test 1 and 3 are approximately 60 minutes and Test 2 is approximately 90 minutes in duration (however, the test duration will be subject to change if necessary). The final exam is 2.5 hours in duration. 3. Topics covered on tests/exam. (Note: topics covered in tests are subject to change. Any changes will be announced in class.)  Test 1 will cover all topics from week 1 to week 3 inclusive.  Test 2 will cover all topics from week 1 to week 6 inclusive.  Test 3 will cover all topics from week 7 to week 10 inclusive.  The Final Exam will cover all topics from week 1 to week 12 inclusive. 4. MyStatLab online assignments: MyStatLab is the online homework software. The access code to this software is included with your textbook. It is a course requirement that you complete and submit all your homework using MyStatLab to earn 10% of the course assessment. There are 12 assignments, one per week. The best 10 assignments will be used to determine your mark. We do not accept hardcopy of your assignments. The due date for each module is posted on the MyStatLab site. Excuses related to technology such as laptop breakdown, server down, cannot access the website, etc. are not considered. There is no makeup for a missed online assignment.

No other form of photo Identification is accepted. You are not allowed to write your test/exam if you do not have proper photo identification.

6. Medical certificates A student who misses a test or examination deadline because of illness, must submit an official medical certificate (http://www.ryerson.ca/senate/forms/medical.pdf) to either Chang School or your program office within 3 working days of the event. It is the student’s responsibility to make arrangements with your professor for a make up exam. Submission of the Academic Consideration form and all supporting documentation to either Chang School or your program office does not relieve you of your responsibility to notify your professor of the problem as soon as it arises. You are required to contact with your professor again after the documents have been submitted in order to make the appropriate arrangements. If you do not have a justifiable reason for an absence and/or have not followed the procedure highlighted in this course outline, you will not be given credit or marks for the work missed during that absence. If the notification and document are not received in time, your test/exam mark will be zero. It is your responsibility to observe the Policy 134 section IB3 of 4

part c to avoid receiving a zero mark on your test/exam. See the Ryerson University calendar or online version. 4. Missed Tests/Final Exam There will be no makeup for Test 1 and 3. However, you still have to submit all supporting documentation to either Chang School or your program office within 3 working days of the test(s) that you missed. If your documentation is approved, the weight of 10% per missed test will be transferred to the Final Exam. See http://ce-online.ryerson.ca/ce/default.aspx?id=1152 for the missed mid-term and final exam procedure In case of missed Test 2 or Final Exam you must notify the professor and submit all supporting documentation to your program office within 3 working days of the missed test or exam. If either your notification or your documents are not received in time, your mark will be zero. The reason for absence must be acceptable to the University. If your documentation is approved, a makeup Test 2 or Final Exam will be scheduled by your professor. It is the student’s responsibility to contact their professor to arrange the make up test or exam. NOTE: The makeup Test 2 or Final Exam will cover the same topics as Test 2 or the Final Exam, but the format may be different. TOPICS – TENTATIVE SEQUENCE & SCHEDULE: Week 1st

Dec. 3rd EXAMINATION PERIOD – Week 13 in class (December 10th duration: 2.5 hrs, weight 50%) TEACHING METHODS: This course will incorporate the following teaching/learning methods: Readings from the text will help you prepare for each class. Most concepts and procedures will be presented and discussed during classes each week. There may be some time provided in each class for you to practice with the various new statistical methods. You must then reinforce your understanding of the material with independent study and by solving the assigned problems. Ultimately, it is your responsibility to learn the course material. However, every attempt will be made to present the course in a manner that facilitates learning the subject matter. For example, course materials will be presented in a timely and logical manner, appropriate handouts will be provided on the D2L course website, your feedback will be solicited regularly, the three tests will be graded and marks posted in a timely fashion. Also, where appropriate, you will be given instructions on how to use the recommended calculator. POLICIES AND COURSE PRACTICES Course Management  Every effort will be made to manage the course as stated. However, adjustments may be necessary during the term at the discretion of the professor. If so, students will be advised by class announcements in class or by email, or on the D2L course website. Academic Integrity  Students are required to adhere to all relevant University policies, such as the Student Code of Academic Conduct. University regulations concerning unacceptable academic conduct (cheating, plagiarism, impersonation, etc.) will be followed. See the Ryerson University calendar or online versions at http://www.ryerson.ca/calendar/2016-2017/policies-and-procedures/rights-conduct/codes-of-conduct/ for more explanation. http://www.ryerson.ca/senate/PoliciesAlpha.html  Plagiarism is a serious academic offence and penalties range from zero in an assignment all the way to expulsion from the university. In any academic exercise, plagiarism occurs when one offers as one’s own work the words, data, ideas, arguments, calculations, designs or productions of another without appropriate attribution or when one allows one’s work to be copied. (See the Ryerson Library for APA style guide references: http://www.ryerson.ca/library/ref/style.html)  It is assumed that all examinations and work submitted for evaluation and course credit will be the product of individual effort, except in the case of team projects arranged for and approved by the course professor. Submitting the same work to more than one course, without professors’ approval, is also considered plagiarism.  Students who have committed academic misconduct for the first time will, at a minimum receive a “0” on the work, and the professor may assign an “F” in the course. The Academic Integrity Seminar will also be assigned and students will have the notation Disciplinary Notice (DN) placed on their academic record and official transcript. The notation shall remain until the students graduate, or for eight (8) years, whichever comes first.  Students who commit academic misconduct a second time shall be placed on Disciplinary Suspension (DS) for up to two years, at which time they may apply for reinstatement to a program. The designation DS shall be placed on their permanent academic record and official transcript. The notation shall remain until students graduate, or for eight (8) years, whichever comes first.  Disciplinary Withdrawn standing (DW) shall be permanently noted on students’ academic records and official transcripts. 7

   

Expulsions shall be permanently noted on students’ academic records and official transcripts. NOTE: Students may not drop a course when they have been notified of the suspicion of academic misconduct. If a student attempts to drop the course, the Registrar’s office will re-register the student in that course until a decision is reached. When the professor has reason to suspect that an individual piece of work has been plagiarized, the professor shall be permitted to submit that work to any plagiarism detection service. CHEATING ON AN EXAM OR TEST: Ryerson’s Examination Policy requires that all students have a valid student identification card or other photo identification on their desk at all times when taking an examination. If it is suspected that someone is impersonating a student, the photo identification of that person will be checked, and the person will be asked to sign the exam paper for further verification. If it is suspected that the identification is not valid, students may be asked to provide alternate photo identification. Security may be called, if circumstances warrant.

E-Mail Accounts (VERY IMPORTANT)  Students are required to activate and maintain a Ryerson Matrix e-mail account. This shall be the official means by which you will receive university communications. See www.ryerson.ca/acadcouncil/current/pol157.pdf Accommodation of Students with Disabilities  In order to facilitate the academic success and access of students with disabilities, these students should register with the Access Centre www.ryerson.ca/accesscentre/. Before the first graded work is due, students should also inform their professor through an “Accommodation Form for Professors” that they are registered with the Access Centre and what accommodations are required. Student Responsibilities in Academic Appeals  Students should read the Undergraduate Academic Consideration and Appeals policy at (http://www.ryerson.ca/content/dam/senate/policies/pol152.pdf )  It is the student’s responsibility to notify and consult with either the professor, or the Chair/Director of the teaching department/school, depending on the situation, as soon as circumstances arise that are likely to affect academic performance. It is also the student’s responsibility to attempt to resolve all course related issues with the professor and then, if necessary, with the Chair/Director of the teaching department/school as soon as they arise. An appeal may be filed only if the issue cannot be resolved appropriately.  Students who believe that an assignment, test, or exam has not been appropriately graded must review their concerns with...
