We will be covering most of the material in Chapters 1-4 from this book.
This book will be used to supplement the material in Casella and Berger for class examples or exercises.
The grade will be based exclusively in two midterm exams and a take-home final exam. Each midterm is worth 30 % of the course grade. The final is worth 40%. The first midterm exam will be on Thursday, September 23. Suggested exercises from the textbook will be assigned regularly but they will NOT be graded. I will post the list of exercises in the class webpage. Solutions for selected problems will be discussed in class or provided through this page. I also encourage you to work the exercises in small groups. It is very important to make and effort to go beyond class lectures and work through the exercises (suggested or more) to understand the class material.
There are no make up exams. Only in case of an emergency that can be throughly documented with a medical or police report, I will consider rescheduling an exam at an alternative date.
Qualified students with disabilities needing appropriate academic adjustments should contact me to ensure that they are met in a timely manner.
