Statement
from the Office of the Provost on academic ethics.
The class runs under the honor code governing all College of Engineering
classes. Each examination will have a closed-book portion followed by an
open-book (and notes) portion. In the closed-book portion, you will write
expository paragraphs on fundamental concepts. No closed-book question will
require quotation or usage of a memorized formula. In the open-book portion,
you will work problems similar to those assigned as homework and/or discussed
in class. Either or both examinations may also have a "take-home"
question which, unlike an in-class examination question, can presume access to
statistical software.
Computer software availability:
Our changed classroom (Fairlane Center South 152) will have the latest version of Minitab®, version 15, for use, as will the laboratories in the building. Minitab has a web site at http://www.minitab.com.
The data sets for homework problems to be assigned from the Montgomery textbook will be available on the VLT web site.
