Assignments:
Assignments are designed to develop practical knowledge in concepts and
applications of statistics. They are tools of learning more than tools of assessment.
Assignments will be completed individually and in groups. Assignments will be
completed as required in appended outline.
Attendance :
Attendance is required by school regulations. Students are strongly advised not to
miss lecture hours since success has been observed to be closely related with
attendance.

Assessment of students' own work, continuously, is the basis for grading in the
course.
Midterm Exam:
30%
Final Exam:
40%
Quizzes :
20%

5
SPECIFIC
1.
All assignments (homework) will be submitted on an A-4 paper and in a plastic folder file.
2.
Leave a left margin on each page, wide enough for grading, and use one side of the page only.
3.
Each problem and its parts should be properly labeled, and should appear in the same order as in the
assignment sheet. This is not necessary in the exams.
GENERAL
1.
Homeworks should be clearly written with A pencil or pen (red reserved for correction) on a white
paper, with a cover page. They should be in a form that would be acceptable to your future employer.
Sloppy work will not be accepted.
2.
Late assignments will not be accepted for initial credit unless you have an authorized written excuse.
Late assignments within acceptable dates will be graded with a 20% discount. No homework can be
accepted after the return of corrected homework.
3.
Individual work must reflect an individual’s effort, Group work is expected to be the joint work of the
group , netither of an individual nor of others outside the group.
Donot copy from others. Academic dishonesty carries a penalty that may range from recieving a
grade of zero to expulsion from the University. More on this is in scholl regulations
4.
All assembled assignments together with quizzes, and mid-term exams, should be submitted towards
the end of the exam in a file, as a partial fulfillment of the requirements for this course. This will earn
you a bonus to your semestre grade, depending on completeness of your.
