Submit your participation report for the time interval 2/12 to 2/18 as a pdf via Canvas. Please copy-paste in your report the contributions you have made (if any) to the class Piazza site. A simple and acceptable format is a screen shot of your contribution which includes your name. This will be an efficient way for the grader to keep track of participation. You can also list here any other contributions you have made to our DATASCI/STATS 531 learning community during this interval, including contributions in class. However, Piazza is expected to be the most common form of active participation. If there is no discussion on the Piazza site that you want to join, start a new one! Thoughts you have about the notes are worth sharing. Or you can share thoughts about how the development of ideas in class relates to the textbook by Shumway and Stoffer, or any other online resource.
Participation is graded according to the participation rubric. The expectation is that you should have at least one constructive contribution to the class community each reporting period. Participation is not evaluated on whether it is right or wrong, indeed it is an opportunity to obtain feedback on your thoughts when you don’t know if they are correct or not.
The usual rules for scholarship apply to Piazza posts and responses. You are encouraged to use sources; even GenAI can supply useful material. However, you should cite sources. You should not put your own name to material that was not written by you.
