As you know, I value your input on all aspects of the work I do here at McMaster. I'd like some feedback from you by filling out this survey.

18 Apr: an update on the final exam details, and that assignment 7 solutions are posted (which will help with the RSM bonus project).
23 Apr: as promised, the true optimum from the optional response surface mini-project is now available. Sign in to see how close you came to solving it. If you get an error message, just reload the page.
23 Apr: Finally! The grades for all Quests are available. Who knew that writing code to automatically grade would be so intricate? Please check your grades, and see if there are any errors. The tolerances on the numeric values are very generous; no grades were deducted for too many significant figures.
24 Apr: The grades for assignment 7 are loaded into Avenue. Please note, Avenue does not correctly calculate the Assignment weight for the course: I will only use the best 6 assignments. Please calculate your own grade; or wait for me to do it after the exams, when I upload the final grades.
24 Apr: All grading issues with Quest (especially Quest 3) should be fixed. All 6000 questions have now been auto-graded. Please sign in again to double check.

The overall Quest grade has also been transferred over to Avenue. It has a weight of 22% in the course grade.

Thanks for your patience with the Quest system, and your help with finding all the bugs. Classes in future years will benefit from it.

25 Apr: some personal things have come up that prevent me from being at the exam this evening. As with all my exam, if anything seems unclear, simply state your assumption and work with it. As long as it is reasonable, I will consider your interpretation.
