Traditional Lecture (West Lafayette)

The traditional format is face-to-face lecture. Lectures are recorded and available in the Kaltura Media Gallery on Brightspace as a backup, but recordings do not substitute for attendance — to earn attendance credit you must attend class in person.

Participation (8%)

• Student profile (0.5%): submit your student profile by the due date.

• Attendance (7.5%): attend at least 80% of classes, recorded using iClicker Cloud. Attendance is taken at the beginning of each class. Bring a smartphone or laptop to class for attendance.

Homework and computer assignments (24%)

Delivered through Edfinity, typically due Tuesday before midnight. Homework problems are automatically graded with multiple attempts allowed. Computer assignments use a provided data set and require R code, graphs, and written interpretation; they are hand-graded by TAs, normally by the Sunday after the deadline. The lowest score is dropped. Late work is accepted within 48 hours at a 20% penalty.

Exams (68%)

Two in-person evening midterms (20% each) and a comprehensive final (28%). Two class days are cancelled to compensate for the evening exams: Friday, October 9 and Monday, November 23 (marked on the schedule above). See Course Syllabus — Fall 2026 for dates, crib sheet rules, and makeup policy.
