This is the homepage for Elementary Biostatistics. Each week there will be an assignment due. Turning in that assignment will consist of submitting (via Blackboard) a copy of the Excel spreadsheet that you used, and a Word document with the questions asked as part of the assignment, and the answers that you provide. The assignments given each week are intended to develop skills and concepts that you will be asked to apply in future assignments, so do take the time to work through all of the explanations, and take notes, rather than skipping from one instruction to the next.
All assignments are due at 5 pm, one week after they are assigned. If you need help working through a particular assignment, I will be available Monday, Wednesday and Friday for in-person help, but also can be reached at any time by e-mail (see link below).
