• If you want to receive these announcements on your cell, but don't have a Twitter account, text: follow stats4eng to this number 21212 and you'll get a text message instead of a tweet.
• Solutions for the first test are now available: sign in http://quest.mcmaster.ca/ to compare your answers. In a week or two the system will also automatically grade you (where possible); that feature isn't developed yet.
• Another interesting seminar on campus: John Bianchini, CEO of Hatch, will be talking at the free Chemical Engineering seminar on Thursday, 17 January, 10:30 to 11:20, JHE326H: moved to 28 March.
• Assignment 1 is posted; due 18 January, in class on paper, or electronically. Please do not use the Chem Eng dropbox for assignment submissions.

• The weekly test has been emailed to your McMaster email address. Please follow the link and instruction to complete the test. Let me know if you experience any technical difficulties.
  • If you didn't receive the automated email, you can re-request it from http://quest.mcmaster.ca/
  • There was a technical issue that sent a second sign-in email around 11:07 on Monday morning; please ignore that email.
  • If you get the message "Sorry - you are not registered to use the Quest website", then you are not on my official class list. Please email me your full name, student number and McMaster email address.
• Notes for the next section, univariate data analysis, are available.
• Notes for the first section of the course are available: Visualizing process data
