If you have questions about assignments, computing or concepts, the Stat Lab(CL435) is staffed by TA's 40-60 hours every week. They can help you with many of your questions. The schedule of help hours in the Stat Lab and who's there at each time can be found at http://www.pitt.edu/~eswst7/labhours.html

 

CALENDAR FOR LECTURES is at http://www.stat.pitt.edu/asampson/STAT200calendar2001web.html

 NOTE: Sample final is at http://www.pitt.edu/~mmp38/practiceexam.html

 

NOTE: EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 17, in all recitations, homework is to be turned in at the end of the period. One effect is that your homework will be available when you take your quiz. As always TA's will use their judgment about which homework problems they agree to solve in class.

 

REMEMBER STAT LAB is CL435 and the reserved schedule is found at http://www.pitt.edu/~eswst7/reservations.html. You can check this to see if the recitations for our class meet that week in the Stat Lab or in the regular recitation classroom.
