Information about the Final Exam

Text, Syllabus, Prerequisite, Credit

The text book is A first course in Probability (6th ed.) by Sheldon Ross. You can download a printable copy of the syllabus (in pdf format). A working knowledge of multiple integrals and partial derivatives is essential for the course, hence Calc III (Multiple-variable calculus), is an unwaivable prerequisite. Please be aware that one cannot receive credit for this course and Introduction to Discrete Structures II (198:206), Theory of Probability (960:381), or Probability and Random Processes (332:321).

Course structure and Grades

The syllabus contains several suggested homework problems. You are expected to solve all of them, although no homework will be collected. There will be two Quizzes, each 30 minutes long, and one midterm, 80 minutes long. The Final will be 3 hours long. All exams will be cumulative.

The final grade will consist of the following parts:

  • 15% Quizzes
  • 30% Midterm Exam
  • 40% Final Exam
  • Feedback

    When leaving feedback about the class, you might want to answer one or more of the following 3 questions:
    1) What things is the instructor not doing that he should be doing?
    2) What things that the instructor is doing should he stop doing?
    3) What things that the instructor is doing should he keep doing?
