During the Summer semester you have until the last day of class to complete any homework assignments. |
| Extra Credit | You have the opportunity to earn up to 5 points by taking an Extra Credit exam where you can demonstrate your skills of using the statistical software package R. It is your responsibility to make the necessary arrangements for taking the test. |
| Exams | There will be three exams and a final exam. You need a basic calculator for all the exams. Graphing calculators are also allowed but you may not use a cell phone app. During the Spring and the Fall semester you are given a 10 day time period for each exam and it is your responsibility to schedule a proctored exam during each of the given time periods. During the Summer semester the only requirement is that you take the three exams and the Extra Credit exam before the last day of class and the final exam before a certain date that will be specified in the syllabus. Taking a proctored exam at the Biggio Center will be free. Off-Campus students who are not able to take the exams at the Biggio Center will likely have to pay a proctoring fee (typically $25 per exam).
