Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA): This act requires that reasonable accommodations be
provided for students with physical, sensory, cognitive, systemic, learning or psychiatric
disabilities. Students requiring such accommodations should speak with the instructor at the
beginning of the semester in order to make appropriate arrangements for this course. The Center
for Disabled Student Services (581- 5020) will also need to be informed.
Course Description: Introduction to analysis of variance, regression analysis, correlation
analysis, and nonparametric techniques. Continued use of SAS programming language. There
are two lectures and one lab per week.
Course Work and Grading: Grades will be based on weekly homework assignments, 2
midterms, and a final exam as follows:
SAS Lab: 15%
Homework: 15%
2 midterms: 40% (20% each)
Final exam: 30%
Make-ups: Students will not be allowed to reschedule or make-up exams. Students should make
semester plans in advance - this is non-negotiable! If you cannot make it to the midterms or final,
then you should not sign up for this course.
Homework: Homework will be assigned and collected weekly. On some assignments, your grade
may be based on completeness. I will pass out solutions to the homework problems, and it is your
responsibility to check your own answers. Late homework will not be accepted!

Tutoring Center: The Mathematics Tutoring Center offers free, drop-in tutoring to all students
enrolled in this class. The Tutoring Center is located in the T. Benny Rushing Mathematics
Center. The hours for spring semester are: 8:00am- 8:00 pm Monday- Thursday and 8:00 am 6:00 pm on Friday, closed on weekends and University holidays. For students who need more
attention than the tutoring center can offer, University Tutoring Services, 330 SSB, offers
inexpensive private tutoring. A list of private tutors is also available from the math department
office (in JWB). Group tutoring sessions, for 5 or more students, can be arranged through the
Tutoring Center. There is also a drop-in computer lab for all students enrolled in a math class,
and group study rooms, both of which are adjacent to the Tutoring Center.
