Administrative Class materials

Announcements (previous ones) or Follow @stats4eng

New: 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. Thanks to one of your classmates for pointing this out.

Assignment 1 is posted; due 18 January, in class on paper, or electronically. Please do not use the Chem Eng dropbox for assignment submissions.

A tutorial for the course software is now available. It shows how to download and install the software and steps to get started. You'll need this for assignment 1.

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

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.
