Blackboard
You have all been enrolled into the Blackboard program for this course. All lecture slides,
readings, homework, class schedules and solutions will be posted there.
Calculators
We will be doing probability and statistical computations using calculator functions. Most
students use a TI-83, 84, 89 or Inspire. You will need one that does probability and statistics
functions. You are responsible for learning how to use your own calculator via its manual or online
videos.
In-Class Expectations
You are expected to come to EVERY class ON TIME. Much of what is presented in class shows up
on exams. When you are in our classroom, it is expected that you will

Bring copies of the slides and take notes on them


Bring statistical tables to class
Keep laptops closed unless viewing course materials
Refrain from texting
Refrain from doing other online activities

Outside of Class Expectations


It is expected that you will spend at least 90 minutes a day, 5 days a week, reviewing course slides,
doing homework and reading the material.
Schedule
See the weekly schedules posted to Blackboard. Each will contain
(a) the material we will cover on each day
(b) the readings and homework are due each day
(c) exam dates
You are expected to check the schedules and be responsible for the reading and homework
assignments detailed therein. It is your responsibility to attend class and keep track of what is due
and when.
Extra Credit
There is no extra credit in this course.

Grading
Two averages will be computed for each student. You will receive the higher of the two averages
to determine your final course grade.
Average 1:
*Exams 1 and Exam 2
Homework
In Class Activities (lowest one dropped)
Team Project
Final Exam

50%
10%
7%
8%
25%

*Your lowest of Exam 1 and Exam 2 will be weighted at 10%. The other exam will be weighted
at 40%.
Average 2:
Exam 1
Exam 2
Homework
In Class Activities (lowest one dropped)
Team Project
Final Exam

22.5%
22.5%
10%
7%
8%
30%

There is no curve in this class. You are guaranteed a final grade per below (final average is X):
Final Average Course grade
X > 90
A
80 < X < 89
B
70 < X < 79
C
60 < X < 69
D
X < 60
E
The +/- system may be used for those students whose averages are truly borderline at the end of
the semester. (Borderline is defined to be an average that is within .5 of a higher grade).
Exams
There will be no exams given early.
There will be no make-up exams.
Exam rules:

Cell phones must be put completely away in backpacks. If your cell phone is seen on
your lap or out in any way during an exam, you will be given a zero for the exam and
reported for a violation of ASUs Academic Integrity Policy. Really, really.

You will be able to bring two (2) 8.5 x 11 sheet of notes (both sides) to Exam 1 and
Exam 2 and four (4) sheets to the Final Exam.
You must bring copies of the tables to each exam.
You MUST bring a calculator to each exam.
You MUST bring a photo ID to each exam. Get an ASU Sun Card if you dont have one:
https://cfo.asu.edu/cardservices-suncard
You may not be on-line during any exam.
There will be a seating chart for each exam.
There will be multiple versions of each exam.

If you miss an exam, there will be no make-up (see paragraph below) except in the event of an
extreme circumstance such as death, hospitalization, jail, or other extreme (and provable)
circumstance.
No exam will be given early.
A doctors note from ASU Health Services is not an extreme circumstance.
Once a graded exam is returned, you will have one week to let me know of any grading problems
with it, after that, the score will not be changed.
The Final Exam is cumulative. That means it will cover everything we do all session.
Make-Up Exams
There will be no make-up exams, even if you have a note from ASUs Health Services. See
above.
Discussion Boards
There are forums for each HW on the Discussion Board tab in Blackboard. You are expected to
post your HW difficulties there and to help each other. If you are unable to resolve your issue
there, see the TA or me during office hours for help.
On-Line Homework
The HW due dates are in the schedule. Each HW is due on the appointed day no later than 11:45
pm. There will be no extensions on the HW, but the lowest score will be dropped. Each HW is
worth the same weight, regardless of how many problems are on it. For example, a score of 4 out
of 5 problems is 80% and a score of 28/35 is also 80%.
The on-line homework is located at www.wileyplus.com.
You are encouraged to work on the homework with other students. You are not to simply copy
each others answers. Your ability to do the homework problems on your own is the best predictor
of how you will do on the exams.

Academic Integrity
Cheating, in any form, absolutely, positively will not be tolerated. If you cheat, I will report you
to the Deans Office with a recommendation that you receive an E in this class. ASU has very
severe penalties for academic integrity violations. Pay particular attention to letter B, below.
