Schedule:
Vardeman will be out of town Wednesday March 3. In order to make up this lecture in
advance, the 9 AM lecture on the day of the 1st exam (February 21) will NOT be
cancelled. There will be no 9 AM lecture on April 4, the day of the 2nd exam.
Homework:
Homework will be due on Fridays, at 5 PM at the TA's office. Copies of the assignments
and solutions will be posted on the course homepage
http://www.public.iastate.edu/~vardeman/stat543/stat543.html
You may ask Vardeman (or Lu) for (limited) help with the assignments. And you may
discuss the homework with fellow students. But each individual must independently
write up his or her own assignments for turning in. This is an integrity issue. Do not
copy what someone else has written and turn it in as your own. If some computations are
needed, do not use someone else’s code.
