RE: Thursday's test

The inclass written part of the the test has been postponed until next week. I need to return the homework assignments and make sure everyone understands what is expected in this class. 

The data analysis part of the Midterm will still be done on Thursday. 

• What happened last week?  I didn't receive everyone's homework 3.  If you didn't turn in your homework 3 please be sure to drop it off at the Statistics Department before Wednesday so I can grade it before Thursday.  Otherwise, you will not receive credit for that assignment.
• Also related to the homework: all solutions to the homework should be produced in MS Word and turned in on a disk.  If you have been printing out paper solution I will not count this against you up until now, however from Homework 4 on I WILL NOT accept homework solutions on paper.

• For those of you in Stat4910 you check out the BASAS website.

• Read Ted Goertzel's article Myths of Murder and Multiple Regression this will be part of the take-home Midterm Exam.  It is a very interesting article.
• As part of the in-class Midterm Exam you will need to complete the Human Participant Protections Education for Research Teams from the National Institute of Health.  Next week during class we will be entering some data and performing statistical analysis on some data that you will need to have a Completion Certificate to work with.
