Class cancelled from 16-20 March due to MU policy on a precuation against Covid-19

I will keep you update here on how to proceed with our class as soon as I figure it out.

Announcement (12.30pm, March 18, 2020)

1. No need to turn-in HW chapter 9 anymore. The solution is here.

2. There will be no class during the last 2 weeks. Material based on lecture 21 will not be in the exam (although I think you should study it on your own).

3. You still do the presentation. Please record the clip of your presentation about 10 mins long and send the link with slides to me by Wed. March 25.

4. I strongly recommend you to try old final exam (with answers). It is an excellent practice for the final exam.

5. Most likely the final exam will be on-line (I will confirm again with instruction). It is scheduled to be on Wed. April 1. The exam includes chapter 7,8,9,10. (Chapter 10 only up to finding regression line and SSE) with this formula sheet.

Announcement (6.15pm, March 24, 2020)

Congratulations if you've already sent me the presentation! I appreciate your effort to collect the data, make slides and filming. I watch all the clips that sent to me with excitement. I will not respond to you group by group though, as I have a tendency to say negative things (you know, I am critical as a teacher). But I really appreciate your effort.

About the final exam, I am consulting with Aj. Phakaporn from another section. It will be on google classroom (other math classes do the same). I will give you the exact detail on Friday. Overall the exam will be in similar environment like in the classroom exam i.e. only calculator and formula sheet are allowed, etc.

########################################

Announcement (5.30pm, Friday March 27, 2020)

We will have the final exam on Wed April 1, 2-3.50pm on google classroom. I already sent you an invitation and another separate email (to your email address given by SKY). If you have not got any of it, please send me a message at thotsaporn@gmail.com (do it right away). Otherwise I will see you on Wed!
