08 Apr: good to know: the optional response surface mini-project is now available. It can be used to boost your grade; it should take little time to complete in between exams, and will help you study for the final exam.
09 Apr: an article came out this month on DOEs as used in companies. For example, it describes why BASF used DOEs to create an effective dishwashing soap.
11 Apr:

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).
19 Apr: grades for the Quests are available for multiple choice questions. I'm working on the grading code right now for other question types (i.e. short answer and numerical answers).
21 Apr: the RSM project now shows a leader board, to see how you rank relative to the other teams. Only 2.5 days left to complete it! Remember, you can only run 8 experiments in 24 hours, so plan ahead.
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.
