  • You can do really well on assignments if you work together in groups. Don't be afraid to ask him questions about the assignments! There was a final group project consisting of a presentation and a briefing paper on a topic of your choosing (relating to a problem with a fish stock). Assignments were given at the end of each unit (6 assignments total). There was a take-home final exam which we were given a weekend to complete. I would recommend taking BOIL 361 prior to this course as a background in statistics is very helpful. Knowledge of linear regression, confidence intervals, and T-tests are vital to doing well in this course.
