Weekly Quizzes

There will be 11 more-or-less weekly quizzes available via Moodle – there is no quiz the first week and the quiz for the week of the term test is deferred into the next week. The questions on the quizzes will be similar to questions worked through in the lectures and presented in the non-assignments.

Midterm and Final Exams

• The term test will cover chapters 1-9 and occurs in week 6 of the course. Students will take the term test online, in the same fashion as the quizzes.

• The final exam will be a three-hour formally supervised exam and will cover all the course material, with an emphasis on material from the second half of the course. This is so because much of the material covered in the first half of the course is fundamental to the material covered in the second half. Details about the final exam will be posted on the STAT 263 Moodle page as they become available.

Students must write their exam on the day and time scheduled by the University. The start time may vary slightly depending on the off-campus exam centre. Do not schedule vacations, appointments, etc., during the exam period (please refer to Important Dates). For more information about Off-Campus Exams please refer to:
