Office Hours Open Door Policy (Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri 14:00-16:00) Textbook Homework Probability and Statistics for Engineering and the Sciences by JAY DEVORE 8th Edition There will be regular homework assignments, usually due on Wednesdays. Your work should be neat and legible. Use plenty of paper, and staple your work! I encourage you to work together on homework, but everyone should write up results separately. You should also feel free to check your solutions in the back of the book and then correct them. Homework is graded as follows: + Late 0 Quizzes On time, complete (or mostly complete). On time, missing self-evaluation or otherwise incomplete. 50% credit, you will receive no comments Not turned in.

There will a ten minute quiz each Wednesday (unless there is an exam). These quizzes will reinforce the homework assignments. Exams I give makeup exams only for severe and documented reasons. Midterm, April between 07-11, Final Exam, June between 02-13,
