311 News as of  October 26th, 2009

The class project begins on Thursday this week.  Instead of a 100 point project, I am reducing it to 60 points, and as a result, it will be smaller.  It will focus on multiple regression and what we do this week from Monday-Wednesday.  Thursday and Friday we will meet in the lab so you can use Minitab.  You will have the full class period on Monday as well.  The project will be due Tuesday morning at the beginning of class. Late projects will have a penalty.  That means 5 minutes after class begins is late!  You will work in teams of 3 or 4, and you will submit one paper per team.  Requirements for the paper will be handed out on Wednesday.  If you go to Minitab.com, you can find out how to download a full version of Minitab for your personal computer on a 30-day trial basis----no charge.  The worksheet describing the project is listed after the material for Chapters 4 and 5.  The Minitab worksheet containing the data is immediately below the project worksheet.
