*''Finally!'' All the midterms are graded and values entered into Avenue. The median is 76.8%, and MAD is 13.3, the distribution is normal.
** The slope coefficient when regressing the time you took to write the exam on your grade is statistically insignificant, indicating there was no benefit to your grade by having "infinite" time.
** \(\text{Grade} = b_0 + b_1 \text{Time}\), where \(b_1 = 0.0608\pm 2\times 0.0453\); the standard error, \(S_E = 13.9\), which is huge, and \(R^2 = 2.3\%\), on 76 degrees of freedom. \(\text{Time}\) is in minutes and \(b_0 = 65.1\%\)
** If the above 2 points don't make sense, then you [http://stats4eng.connectmv.com need to take 4C3] next year.
** Please disregard the average that Avenue calculates. Avenue doesn't do unusual grading schemes like "5 bonus marks on the midterm". Only use Avenue to check that the grades match your midterm.
** Questions on grading? Please speak with Yasser on all questions, except 5 and 6 which were graded by Kevin.
 
 
* The [[Self-directed learning project - 2012| final memo regarding the SDL project]] has been posted. One important point was omitted:
::For the HAZOP study: please investigate only one unit, 2 nodes, 3 parameters per node, and 3 guide words.




* '''<span style="color:#FF9900">More information added:</span>''': For the SDL project presentations: a good rule of thumb for presenters is that you talk about a slide for about 1.5 to 3 minutes. That implies you need 5 to 7 slides for the 10 minutes of talking, and 1 or 2 extra for the class activity: so a '''total of about 8 slides'''. There are very few exceptions to this guideline, so please don't generate a lot of slide material: this is one case where "less is more". Another point is on font size. If you cannot read your slide when standing 2 meters away from your computer monitor, then the letters are too small.
This course website is an archive of the website, as used in 2012, 2013 and 2014. It is still open for your reference. Please [[Engineering_Economics_and_Problem_Solving:_4N4:About |feel free to use these materials]] as you wish.
** [[Self-directed_learning_project_-_2012 | Slides for the group presentations are being posted]]. Please check back for updates.
** A note to future groups: '''please have your slides emailed to me by 20:00 the day before'''.


* Could I please ask you all to seriously consider filling in a course evaluation at https://evals.mcmaster.ca - they are really helpful for me to update and shape the course for 2013. Evaluations close on 04 December.
* <span style="color:#008888">Note regarding the last class</span>: the last class for 4N4 is on Monday, 03 December, at 10:00 in JHE 342 (tutorial time slot). There was no other way to schedule this given the large number of groups presenting. Group A1 will present the last SDL report, then I will talk about the final exam. The class will be video recorded for those that cannot make it to the tutorial time. I will also answer any questions by email for those that can't make it.
* One  '''<span style="color:#00B944">final hand-in is due</span>''' for this course, other than your project: it is a course reflection. Due any time between now and 03 December. Please fill in this [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dFE0M1J3NWstZjE5SE4tN19lRGxheGc6MQ electronic form] for your reflection. This form covers 3 areas:
** it is a [[Course_reflection-2012|course reflection]]
** it is [[Self-directed_learning_project_-_2012/Memo_4#grading | a peer evaluation]]
** final evaluation on 4N4 overall.
:You might want to wait until just before the final project hand-in so you can evaluate your peers. Please note that the reflection counts about 4% of your overall grade, and the peer evaluation is mandatory.
