final grade. If you miss a quiz, your mark for that quiz is zero. You may
reschedule a quiz only if a valid reason is provided. It is your responsibility
to know the material for the quizzes. No make-up tests or essays will
substitute for the quizzes.
The recommended software to use during quizzes is
Minitab. Other software is permissible including non-programmable calculators.
Tutorials will be used to show you how to use Minitab to solve statistical problems.
There are no out-of-class activities planned.
There are
no classes on February 15, 17 and 19 (reading week) and April 2 (Good Friday).

Note: Should extraneous circumstances warrant your
application and subsequent completion of a deferred final exam in this course,
you will be writing a final exam that will be made up by the Statistics 213
course coordinator. This may or may not be your 213 instructor.
