All sections and homework assignments are from Joy of Statistics by John Kellermeier. Students are expected to read the assigned section before the day it is to be discussed and to have attempted some assigned homework problems. We will base our discussion of the day's topic on the homework problems that students put on the board. Consequently, it is up to the members of the class to be sure that problems they wish to discuss have attempted solutions written on the board. This means that each student should attempt some problems from throughout the assignment and not just the first few. Remember, any student who writes an attempted solution to a homework problem on the board receives 1 extra credit points. Solutions do not have to be correct or even complete to receive extra credit. In fact, problems that you can start but not necessarily finish are most appropriate to put on the board for discussion.
A majority of the problems should be completed after the topic is discussed. Any remaining problems should be completed as a means of studying for exams.
Note that the 
button appears ten times on the course schedule. It is the responsibility of each study group to
print a copy of this quiz, complete all problems, and hand it in collectively. In order to receive credit, each student must author at least one problem on each Group Quiz.
These quizzes are due two classes after they are assigned.
