Announcements (previous ones) or

  • 14 Mar: the grading rubric (schedule) for the course project.
  • 26 Mar: About Quest grading. You can 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.
  • 27 Mar: the final response surface competition will count the equivalent of 3 Quests; so there will be 10 + "3" = 13 Quests in total, counting 22% of your overall course grade. More details coming in the next class. Also, the grades for assignment 1 through 6 are on Avenue. Please confirm your grade is correctly recorded.
  • 01 Apr: 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).
  • 01 Apr: by request, the project due date in now moved to Friday, 05 April. Due at noon, electronically. Thanks.
  • 02 Apr: R source code for fractional factorials is posted on the DOE page.
