RULES AND REGULATIONS:

Participation
Class participation and attendance are important elements of every students
learning experience at QU, and the student is expected to attend all classes. A
student should not miss more than 25% of the classes during a semester. Those
exceeding this limit will receive a failing grade regardless of their performance.
In exceptional cases, the student, with the instructors prior permission, could be
exempted from attending a class provided that the number of such occasions does
not exceed the limit allowed by the University. The instructor will determine the
acceptability of an absence. A student who misses more than 25% of classes and has
a valid excuse for being absent will be allowed to withdraw from the course.
Plagiarism
Plagiarism is considered a serious academic offence and can result in your work
losing marks or being failed. QU expects its students to adopt and abide by the
highest standards of conduct in their interaction with their professors, peers, and
the wider University community. As such, a student is expected not to engage in
behaviours that compromise his/her own integrity as well as that of QU.
Plagiarism includes the following examples and it applies to all student assignments
or submitted work:
Use of the work, ideas, images or words of someone else without his/her
permission.
Use of someone else's wording, name, phrase, sentence, paragraph or essay
without using quotation marks.
Misrepresentation of the sources that were used.
For further information see: http://www.plagiarism.org/
The instructor has the right to fail the coursework or deduct marks where
plagiarism is detected.
Classroom Discipline
The use of mobile telephones inside the classroom is NOT allowed.
Any student disciplinary issues, which may arise, will be referred to the head
of the Department.

Special Needs
If you need course adaptations or accommodations because of a disability, or if you
need to make special arrangements in case the building must be evacuated, please
make an appointment with me as soon as possible, or see me during office hours.
Kindly be noted of QU Services for Special Needs at:
http://www.qu.edu.qa/students/services/special_needs/index.php
Students Learning Support Center (SLSC)

The Student Learning Support Center (SLSC) provides academic support services to
male and female students at QU. The SLSC is a supportive environment where
students can seek assistance with academic coursework, writing assignments,
transitioning to college academic life, and other academic issues. SLSC programs
include: Peer Tutoring, the Writing Lab, writing workshops, and Academic Success
Workshops. Students may also seek confidential academic counseling from the
professional staff at the Center.
All SLSC programs are designed to help students become independent and
successful learners by improving their study skills and self-confidence, increasing
their knowledge of course material, encouraging a positive attitude toward
education, and preparing them for lifelong learning. The SLSC is located in the Male
and Female Activities Buildings, and services are free of charge to QU students.
Please visit SLSC for more information at:
http://www.qu.edu.qa/students/services/slsc/index.php
Late or Missed Assignments

In all cases of assessment, students who fail to attend an exam, and are unable to
provide a medical note, will automatically receive a fail grade for this part of the
assessment.
Assignments handed in more than 24 hours late will receive a further 10%
penalty. Each subsequent 24 hours will result in a further 10% penalty.
In cases where a student misses an assessment on account of a medical
reason or with prior permission; in line with University regulations an
incomplete grade for the specific assessment will be awarded and a make-up
exam will be arranged.

LEARNING ACTIVITIES AND TASKS:

The aim of Education is to develop cooperation among students
Good learning is collaborative and social not competitive and isolated
Try to talk and write about what you learn and relate it to past
experience and apply it in your daily life.
ADDITIONAL SOURCES:
1. Introduction to Statistical Thought. By Michael Lavine. A free web download is
http://www.math.umass.edu/~lavine/Book/book.pdf
2. More and more authors are making their books available for free, on the web.
Here is a website where you can find some of them.
http://textbookrevolution.org/index.php/Book:Lists/Subjects
3. Online statistics textbooks and reference manuals. This is a very
comprehensive list compiled by John C. Pezzulo, Associate Professor in the
Departments of Pharmacology and Biostatistics, Georgetown University,
Washington, DC. Includes links to:
a. HyperStat, a very good online textbook by David Lane.
b. Introductory Statistics: Concepts, models, and applications, another
good online texbook by David W. Stockburger, Emeritus Professor of
Psychology, Missouri State University.
c. StatPrimer: An online, public-domain biostatistics instructional manual
by B. Gerstman.

REMARKS:
1) It is the students responsibility to find out through the instructor or his/her
classmates about the assignments and covered topics during his/her time of
absence.
2) No Makeup Test will be given. If a test is missed for legitimate reason, the
value will be added to the value of the final examination. Whether such
reasons are legitimate will be determined by the professor. If the final exam is
missed for a legitimate reason, the student will be assigned an incomplete
grade.
3) If you are a student with special need, please inform the Professor. Then,
arrangements can be done with the Special Needs Section at the university.
4) Students should visit the Blackboard (BB) on regular bases for more
instructions and materials.
5) Bring your scientific calculator on the exams (the use of the cell phone
calculator will not be allowed).
6) Assignments should be worked independently. Exchanging ideas are
permitted orally but don't require any kind of copying.
7) Please refer to Qatar University Academic Calendar for 2012/2013 for
important dates.
