There will be two midterm exams each of which weighs 20% and a final
exam which weighs 30% toward your final grade. You will also be given
a quiz every week during lab hours which will cumulatively constitute
10% of your final grade. The questions for the quizzes will be chosen
from the set of exercises assigned to you every week. You will also be
given ten small projects/labs to work on throughout the semester which
finally will constitute the remaining 20% of your grade.
Honor code
As a citizen of the Duke University Community, each student is committed not to lie, cheat, or steal in her/his academic endeavors and to report known instances of violations to appropriate faculty. The full code is printed in the Undergraduate Bulletin. Violations of the honor code will be reprimanded by failure of this course and will be reported to the Undergraduate Judicial Board who may follow-up with suspension, disciplinary probation and/or other forms of restitution. Ignorance of what constitutes academic dishonesty is not a justifiable excuse for violations.
Resouces
Statistical Education and Consulting Center (SECC) will have teaching
assistants covering help sessions for 20-30 hours per week.
See SECC for hours of operation.
