* 26 Mar: About Quest grading. You can [http://quest.mcmaster.ca sign into Quest] any time after a Quest and it will show you a full solution to your questions. This feature has been there since the beginning, but it appears many don't know about it. You can estimate your grade to a high accuracy as follows:
** You will get full grade if you answer the question correctly.
** For multiple choice questions, subtract off 0.5 marks for every checkbox that should not be checked.
** For numeric answers, if your answer agrees with about 1% tolerance, you will get full grade.
** If you have too many significant figures, you will get deductions of 0.25 marks per box.
** If there are 4 grades for a question, and there are two numeric values to fill in, then each box has equal weighting, i.e. 2 + 2.
** Hope that helps clarify it.
* 01 Apr: [https://evals.mcmaster.ca course evaluations are running]. The comments and feedback you provide are extremely helpful to improve this course (even after teaching it 4 times, there are still improvements to be made).
* 05 Apr: additional R source code for analyzing response surface models has [[Design_and_analysis_of_experiments_(2013)| been posted on the DOE page]].
* 05 Apr: the final response surface competition will be optional. You can earn an additional 5% of the course grade (i.e. bonus marks) this way, to boost your grade. The competition actually doesn't require much time, and it is a great way to study for the DOE section of the final exam.
* 05 Apr: an [http://www.significancemagazine.org/details/webexclusive/4566511/George-Box-1919-2013-a-wit-a-kind-man-and-a-statistician.html interesting tribute to George Box]: to understand his contributions to statistics.
