Course Objectives This course counts toward the general education requirement in statistics. We will focus on

Contingency tables, Regression, Analysis of variance, and Nonparametric methods.

Homework and Quizzes Both homework and quizzes are given periodically. Homework and quizzes will

be graded on a scale of 0-20. Late homework is graded on a scale of 0-16. The lowest of your 6 quiz grades

will be dropped. There are no make-up quizzes for any reason.

Lecture notes

The letter grading scale will be:
A  448-500 points (90%-100%)
B+  423-447 points (85%-89%)
B   398-422 points (80%-84%)
C+  373-397 points (75%-79%)
C   323-372 points (65%-74%)
D   298-322 points (60%-64%)
E   0-297 points (0%-59%)

Calculators Any calculator, if it was fine for STA 2023,  will be fine for this course. But saving notes into

your calculator and accessing them during an exam is considered cheating and will be dealt accordingly.

All exams and quizzes will be closed-book, and closed-notes.

If you are unable to take an exam due to conflict or illness, you must contact me as soon as possible

to discuss your options. Valid documentation will be required for any make-ups.

Incomplete Grades   An incomplete grade will only be given under extraordinarily extenuating

circumstances that prevent the student from completing the course requirements. Having a failing grade

in the course is not an extraordinarily extenuating circumstance.

Academic Honesty The course will be conducted in accord with the University honor code and academic

honesty policy, which can be found in the student guide (http://www.dso.ufl.edu/studentguide.html).

Accommodation for students with disabilities Students requesting classroom accommodation must first

register with the Dean of Students Office. The Dean of Students Office will provide documentation to the
student who must then provide this documentation to the Instructor when requesting accommodation.
