Grading Policy Change in Week 2

As promised in the announcement yesterday, we are switching the quiz grading policy so that your official effective scores will now be based on your best score out of three attempts instead of your latest score out of three attempts. This change will also be retroactive to your Week 1 quiz scores. We have also made all of the Week 2 Quiz multiple choice questions. We are making these change in response to some helpful feedback that we received from some of your fellow students, and we hope that this helps settle some of the confusion about quiz grading.

We are also sorting out the problem that some of you experienced with quiz attempts submitted between the original quiz deadline and the extended deadline. We hope to have some answers about that problem very soon.

Keep up the good work. We are seeing a lot of great work. The Week 2 video lectures are now open for business.

Week 1 Deadlines Extended & Grading Policy Change

There was some confusion about the deadlines for the Week 1 Quiz and Homework, so they have been extended until 11:59 PM PDT today, October 1. As a result, the openings of the Week 2 Quiz and Homework have been pushed back until 11:59 AM PDT tomorrow, October 2.

We are also adjusting the grading policy for quizzes. Beginning with the Week 2 quiz, your effective score will reflect your best attempt instead of your last attempt.

Thanks to everyone for your hard work on the course so far. We are seeing a lot of good conversation on the Discussion Forums, and it is especially gratifying to see you helping one another understand the material. We are also grateful for the feedback you have been giving us.

Keep up the good work!

log

By the way, whenever I write log it means log base e (natural log). If I want log base ten or two, say, I'll write log10 or log2.

If you like youtube.

Hey all,

In case you want it. I put the lectures on Youtube as "unlisted" (so not public and searchable, but available to anyone with the link). These are the preproduction videos and have some tech issues. But if you want a list of links to the unlisted videos, they're here:

Hey everyone

Hey everyone. There were some typos in the quiz and HW that I think I've fixed. (This class is a test for me too, and it looks like I'll have to study harder.) Thanks for pointing it out in the forums. Welcome to the class and keep those forums hot!

Welcome Troops

Welcome to Mathematical Biostatistics Bootcamp.

I suggest that you get started by reviewing the syllabus. You can find it by clicking the link on the left-hand navigation bar. Please pay special attention to the due dates for each of the sections and to the grading policy at the bottom of the page.

Next, please visit the Discussion Forums and introduce yourself in the General Discussion thread. We would love to find out a little bit about each of you, including your background and your reasons for taking the course. You can also help us get to know you by updating your profile.

Finally, you can dive right into the things by completing all of the Week 1 activities:

• Watch the Week 1 Video Lectures (Welcome to the Course, Lectures 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, 2C and 2D)
• Complete Homework 1 (optional)
• Complete the Week 1 Quiz (required)

I'm so glad to see you here, and I hope you have come ready to learn. Please don't hesitate to use the Discussion Forums to ask questions, and please do your best to answer the questions posted by your fellow recruits. Although I would love to be able to answer each question personally, I know that isn't realistic. I will focus my attention on answer the questions that are getting the most up-votes and the questions that seem to be generating a lot of discussion.
