request for rescheduling would be considered only if it is made at least a week in advance and the request is accompanied with engagement schedule signed by the University Colleges director of the activity. Failure to request a make -up exam within a day (or with at least a weeks notice in the case of pre -approved College activities) of the exam may result in ineligibility for a make-up exam and a mark of zero for that exam. Make-up exams are, by design, more difficult than regular exams in order to ensure fairness to those sitting the regular ones. Calculators: A graphing or programmable calculator is neither needed for this course nor permitted for exams. Class Attendance Policy: Statistics is not the type of subject that you can afford to miss a class, and there isn`t the time to re-teach a chunk of the course. Five percent of the total course mark is assigned for attendance and participation; and absenteeism or late will result in loosing part or all of the 5% mark. Please note that leaving the class early can be disruptive to others. Therefore, any student who has a legitimate reason for leaving the class early should inform the professor by the beginning of that days class. Student use of information and communication technologies for purposes other than class note-taking and/or classrelated statistical processing is not allowed in the classroom, as students are expected to give their total attention to class activities. Use of cell-phones, ipads, ipods etc is never appropriate in the classroom, and use of technology to play games, interact with others, browse the internet, or engage material not related to this class is always distracting to classmates and disrespectful to the professor and classmates. Unlike some other post-secondary institutions, Providence has not yet found it necessary to ban laptops from the classroom, or prevent wireless internet access in classrooms. Only judicious use of them will keep it that way.
