The Library has kindly made the Mac Lab, G31, available for statistics students and friends from Monday through Thursday evenings, from 7 to 9 pm. Statistics tutors will be available for students from all sections of Stat 204 on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings in the same location. Our statistics tutors this semester are Matthew Holcomb and Daisy Zhang. They will be available to help you come to grips with theoretical and computational aspects of statistics. Drop by to discuss statistics with the tutors and other students, or just to work on your classwork and homework in a supportive environment, with nice computers, and easy access to knowledgeable statistics students.

Grading

Every assignment in this class has a specific due date. Normally, work submitted after its due date will not count for a grade. Exceptions may be granted for officially sanctioned reasons, such as being out of town with a university athletic team, but you must obtain permission beforehand. Otherwise, late work will not count for a grade and make-up quizzes and exams will not be given.
