Announcements (previous ones) or

  • 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.
  • 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).
  • 05 Apr: additional R source code for analyzing response surface models has 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 interesting tribute to George Box: to understand his contributions to statistics.
