Objectives of the Course
|
The course provides an introduction to probability and statistics. The goal is to teach students powerful analytical and numerical tools in the areas of probability and statistics that can be used to solve real world engineering problems. Lectures will be supplemented by programming exercises and will include practical examples.

Grading Policy
The final grades will be computed based on the general performance of the class and the distribution of grades (i.e. who deserves A and who deserves F). The grading strategy will be a combination of the standard catalogue grading and curve grading.
Attendance Policy
Attendance will not be taken and is not part of grading.
Late Submission Policy
It is the student s responsibility to follow the classes and do the quiz and exams on time. Late homework submissions will be subject to a penalty of 25% if submitted within one week after the due date and %50 if submitted after one week.
Make-Up Policy
There are no make-ups in homework assignments and quizzes. The student may be exempt from these assignments if a written and formal documentation is provided. Possible reasons for excused absences include serious illnesses, illness or death of a family member, university related trips and other serious circumstances. Acceptable documents for claiming an excused absence include medical doctor’s statements, petitions related to official university travels, court related documents, etc. If the student misses an exam (midterms or final) he or she can take a make-up exam upon submitting a formal document or can be exempt from the exams.
