Group Work: Some class work and all of the projects will be done in teams.

• Be aware of the Rose-Hulman Honor Code and that honesty and integrity in one's work is of the utmost importance. Inappropriate sharing of work and information, including electronic sharing, will not be tolerated

• Note, however that you are encouraged to collaborate with others on homework, and in class you may be directed to work in groups. If you are in doubt about what is or is not appropriate just ask me. If you consult others in your submitted work you must acknowledge their contributions in writing on the assignments. You will not be penalized for honest collaboration, but don't just copy.

Computer Policy: Make sure you have Minitab on your computer and know how to use them. We will spend some time  in class learning how to use Minitab.  We will use the computer in class on a regular basis after introducing the material. The course work will consist of a mixture of paper and pencil work and computer work. The course web page is given above.

Exam Policy: The computer or a calculator may be used during hour exams and the final exam, unless otherwise directed. A standard 8.5x11 study sheet may also be used for these exams. The short quizzes will be paper and pencil only, no other aids.
