NJIT Academic Integrity CODE:  All Students should be aware that the Department of Mathematical Sciences takes the University Code on Academic Integrity at NJIT very seriously and enforces it strictly.  This means that there must not be any forms of plagiarism, i.e., copying of homework, class projects, or lab assignments, or any form of cheating in quizzes and exams.  Under the University Code on Academic Integrity, students are obligated to report any such activities to the Instructor.

 

FALL 2010

 

Instructor:  Prof. Subramanian 

Reference Textbook:  Title: Generalized Linear Models: with Applications in Engineering and the Sciences, Authors: Raymond H. Myers, Douglas C. Montgomery, G. Geoffrey Vining, Timothy J. Robinson, Publisher: Wiley; 2nd edition (March 22, 2010) ISBN-10: 0470454636 ISBN-13: 978-0470454633

Course Website:  web.njit.edu/~sundars/coursemath707.html

Prerequisites:  Departmental approval.

Grading Policy:  The final grade in this course will be determined as follows: 

▪ Homework & Quizzes:	20%
▪ Midterm Exam:	40%
▪ Final Exam:	40%

 

Drop Date:  Please note that the University Drop Date November 1, 2010 deadline will be strictly enforced.

Homework Policy:  Homework exercises will be assigned. Please see the course website. All assignments must be turned in on time. Late assignments are NOT accepted. Even though not every problem in an assignment may be graded, you are expected to attempt all of them.

Attendance Policy:  Attendance at all classes will be recorded and is mandatory. Please make sure you read and fully understand the Department’s Attendance Policy. This policy will be strictly enforced.

Examinations:  There will be a midterm examination and a final examination.

Makeup Exam Policy:  There will be No make-up EXAMS during the semester. In the event the Final Exam is not taken, under rare circumstances where the student has a legitimate reason for missing the final exam, a makeup exam will be administered by the math department. In any case the student must notify the Math Department Office and the Instructor that the exam will be missed and present written verifiable proof of the reason for missing the exam, e.g., a doctors note, police report, court notice, etc., clearly stating the date AND time of the mitigating problem. Further Assistance:  For further questions, students should contact their Instructor. All Instructors have regular office hours during the week. These office hours are listed at the link above by clicking on the Instructor’s name. Teaching Assistants are also available in the math learning center.

Cellular Phones:  All cellular phones and beepers must be switched off during all class times.
