 NOTES ON GRADING, EXAMS & ATTENDANCE
      * Each examination contributes 25% of the total course grade. Since there
         are three examinations this means that examinations contribute 75% of
         your course grade. Individual examinations will NOT be "curved".
      * Homework counts as 25% of your course grade. Late assignments will not be
         accepted. 
      * Extra credit work should not be anticipated.
      * The most stringent grading scale that may be applied is 90%+ = "A",

     80%-90% = "B", 70%-80% = "C", 60%-70% = D, Below 60% = F.
      * Both attendance and participation are expected. Missed exams will generally

SOME LINKS OF POSSIBLE INTERESTS INCLUDING ON-LINE TEXTS:


Links range from introductory exercises / explanations (e.g. boxplots, histograms) to an online "text" that includes advanced topics such as  MANOVA, Survival Analysis, Factor Analysis, General Linear Models, etc. (that will be the first link).  Some of the interactive exercises can be pretty instructive (see, e.g., the "fire" interactive exercise in the second link).
