Homework:

- Homework instructions and examples of what the assignments may look like can be found in the back of the class packet. - Assigned homework is downloadable from Blackboard. Once you complete your homework, you will upload it to Blackboard. - Only 1 attempt of your homework will be graded, so be meticulous! - Homework is due by 9:00 pm CST on the due date (given in class and on Blackboard). Absolutely no late homework will be accepted! - If you encounter any programming issues, email Bryant Pham at [email protected] - Your graded homework and solution can usually be accessed within 3 business days from the day/time the homework was due. - Homework grading discrepancies must be brought to my attention within 5 business days from the day the homework grade is posted. - Your lowest homework score will be dropped at the end of the semester.

Exams:

- Exam information can be found in the back of the class packet. - All exams are computerized. They are administered at the Center for Academic Support and Assessment (CASA) Testing Center (either the 222 Garrison Gym or 242 Classroom & Business Building location). - Exam dates are established by CASA and can be found in the Class Schedule that follows. Students are responsible for scheduling their exams with CASA. Failure to schedule an exam or take an exam at its scheduled time will result in an exam grade of zero. - No makeup exams will be given unless there is a documented, extenuating circumstance and I am emailed documentation before the scheduled exam time. If a conflict is known in advance, arrangements must be made with me to take the exam early. Makeup exams must be taken immediately and will be considerably more difficult. - All exams are closed-book, multiple choice and noncomprehensive.

Daily Problems:

- You will be given a daily problem downloadable from Blackboard after every class (with the exception of exam review days). - You will be given unlimited attempts (until the due date/time) to correctly answer the daily problem. - You will have until 9:00 pm CST on the following day to upload the correctly answered daily problem file to Blackboard. Absolutely no late daily problems will be accepted! - If you encounter any programming issues, email Bryant Pham at [email protected] - You are responsible for viewing the file you upload to make sure it is correct, readable, and submitted under the correct daily problem. You will be given only three chances to upload your completed daily problem file before the due date/time. Only the latest submission will be considered. - For every accurately completed daily problem you submit on time, you add 1 point to your raw exam score. Since there are … * 8 class days before Exam 1, you can earn up to an 8 point curve on Exam 1. * 8 class days before Exam 2, you can earn up to an 8 point curve on Exam 2. * 9 class days before Exam 3, you can earn up to a 9 point curve on Exam 3. - Usually within 3 business days from the day/time the daily problem was due, the daily problem will be checked for accuracy, and if ok, will post as 1 point on Blackboard. - Any daily problem grading discrepancies must be brought to my attention within 5 business days from the day the daily problem grade is posted.

Miscellaneous:

- All laptop computers, cell phones, and other electronic devices are to be turned off before class begins. Absolutely no recording devices are permitted without the express written consent of Dr. Staci Patterson. - You do not need to bring your textbook to class, but you do need to bring your class packet and calculator. - Unless otherwise specified, all answers to the problems in the class packet, homework, and exams, were derived by carrying all decimal places in the intermediate steps and then rounding to four decimal places when the answer was reached. - If you are unable to attend class, you must get notes from a classmate. - You are responsible for checking the class website and Blackboard regularly for up-to-date class information. - To receive academic accommodations, students with disabilities must register with the Center for Students with Disabilities (CSD) (telephone 713-743-5400), and present me with their approved accommodation documentation in a timely manner. - Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) can help students who are having difficulties managing stress, adjusting to college, or feeling sad and hopeless. You can reach CAPS (www.uh.edu/caps) by calling 713-743-5454 during and after business hours for routine appointments or if you or someone you know is in crisis. Also, there is no appointment necessary for the “Let's Talk” program, which is a drop-in consultation service at convenient locations and hours around campus. http://www.uh.edu/caps/outreach/lets_talk.html.

Miscellaneous: (cont.)

- Any act of academic dishonesty on an exam, homework, or daily problem (including Excel output) will result in an F for the class and possible expulsion from the university. Please consult the UH Student Handbook, Articles 1-8 (www.uh.edu/academic-honesty-undergraduate). - After the last drop deadline, UH academic regulations prohibit me from dropping students from the class unless it is for a rare, urgent, substantiated (i.e. well documented), nonacademic reason. - Unless you are/plan to be a Supply Chain Management (SCM) major, you must earn a “D-“ or higher to pass STAT 3331. If you are/plan to be an SCM major, you must earn a “C” or higher. - Barring an error on my part (mathematical, typographical, etc.), once I have assigned you your final grade, IT IS NOT SUBJECT TO DEBATE! I do not give extra assignments or allow exam re-takes, and I will not round your final average up (since all elements that make up your final average will have already been curved). This policy will be strictly adhered to in order to be consistent with the STAT 3331 grading scale and grade makeup clearly outlined in this class packet (and to be legally fair to all STAT 3331 students). If your final average is a 49.9999, I am sorry but you will receive an F for the class.

Daily Study Regimen

- It is NOT enough to just attend class. It is HIGHLY recommended that you (1) rework, without looking, the class packet problems and (2) work ALL exercises from the required sections of the textbook & supplemental exercises at the end of each required textbook chapter. If you are short on time and cannot do ALL textbook exercises, at least do the randomly selected ones (thru WebAssign) from the required sections of the textbook. - ALWAYS complete and submit, on time, the daily problems. For practice, you should probably work several versions of each daily problem. - ALWAYS complete and submit, on time, the homework. (This will require that you start on the homework early.) For practice, you should probably work several versions of each homework.

Exam Study Regimen

- Assuming you have followed the daily study regimen above, I recommend that you (1) quickly review/rework the daily and homework problems covered on that exam then (2) spend most of your time working timed exam reviews.
