Midterm Materials

Date and time: October 22, 3:05-4:20 PM

General Information:

The midterm will cover all of Unit 1 and the first two weeks of Unit 2. Topics covered on 10/8 and 10/10 will not be on the midterm. A more detailed list of topics is provided below.
The midterm will have a combination of multiple choice questions and short answer questions
You will be provided with a formula sheet for reference. The formula sheet that you will have is given with the practice questions.
You will not be able to use any additional materials (e.g., notes, electronic devices)
A review session will be held on Oct 17 during class to go over the practice questions
You will not have to answer any questions about R syntax (i.e., writing code). You will be expected to interpret R output. Examples of this are given in the practice questions.
If you have been approved for testing accommodations, please reach out to me and/or the testing center to make arrangements as soon as possible (if you have not done so already). These arrangements cannot be made at the last minute; the testing center has to approve the reservations and fills up quickly.

Test Corrections

Due Tuesday, November 5, 11:59 PM

You have the opportunity to complete test corrections to earn back 50% of the missed points on the exam. Test corrections allow you to look at the questions you got wrong, review the relevant course materials, and explain why the correct answer is appropriate.

For each incorrect question for which you would like to earn back 50% of the points, you must answer the following:

Question number (including the question part for short answer questions)
Which concept is this question testing? Give a specific lecture title (e.g., probability distributions, two-sample t-test, central limit theorem)
Where in the course materials was this concept covered? Be specific (e.g., “the Bayes Theorem Example in the Intro to Probability slides”)
What is the correct answer? Explain why this answer is correct.
Why is your answer incorrect?

You will submit your corrections as one document, and this document must include a scanned copy of your original exam. Corrections submitted without the original exam will not be graded. You can type your corrections, save it as a PDF, then scan your exam (you can do this with your phone!), and combine the two PDFs into one file. Then, update the single file to Gradescope.

You should use this template for your corrections. Once you upload the template in R Studio, be sure to click “Visual” for visual editor mode.
