on the desktop. If Clean User Files feature is not installed in your lab, delete your files and empty the Recycle Bin before leaving ( the deleted files will appear in the Recycle Bin and can be restored). It is important that you delete your files to protect your privacy and hard work from being duplicated. If you don’t, another student may submit your lab assignment as their own work and you may be subjected to a plagiarism investigation.
Labs Submission: The assignments should be handed in to the wooden box outside CAB 331/335 by the due date. There are 40 slots in the box, each of them labeled with the name of the lab instructor and the section number. Students should make sure that they put their lab assignment into the correct slot. Students should submit assignments with a cover sheet that contains only their name and course section. The student ID number should not appear on the cover sheet (FOIPP act). The assignments must be typewritten.
Missed Assignments: A student who cannot complete a lab assignment because of an incapacitating illness, severe domestic affliction or other compelling reasons can apply to their course instructor for a transfer of the weight of the missed lab to the final exam. The application should be made within two working days of the missed lab assignment due date.
Returning Labs: Labs will be handed back by the course instructor in class after they are graded. The raw scores for each lab will be posted on eClass. Under the FOIPP act, assignments may not be left in boxes or envelopes outside the instructor's office. Unclaimed assignments will be retained until one month after term grades become official. After that time, they will be destroyed in compliance with U of A confidential shredding procedures.
Re-evaluation Policy: A student who believes an individual question or lab has been incorrectly marked may request that it be remarked. Such requests should be made by resubmitting this particular lab with a cover page “Remarking Request” explaining in detail your concerns within 10 days of its return date in class. After that, we will not consider remarking or re-evaluating the lab. in your "Remarking Request" you will have to demonstrate that the marker made a mistake in grading or the score for some components assigned by the marker are not consistent with the marking schema posted on the website. If after remarking by the grader, you still think the assignment should be re-considered, then you should contact the instructor directly. Students making a request for a remarking must accept that the resulting mark will become the new mark, whether it goes up or down or remains the same.
The lab exam in Stat 337 is scheduled on Tuesday, November 21 during regular lab session. The details will be provided later. The course instructor will make an announcement in class about the topics covered in the exam. Lab exam is worth 20% of the final grade.
