Biostatistics 501 is an introductory Masters level course that introduces students to the principles of biostatistics and illustrates their application to a variety of problems. It is meant to provide students with a an understanding of the principles behind statistical analysis and interpretation of data.

== Standards of Academic Conduct ==

The following is an extract from the School of Public Health's Student Code of Conduct [http://www.sph.umich.edu/academics/policies/conduct.html]:

''Student academic misconduct includes behavior involving plagiarism, cheating, fabrication, falsification of records or official documents, intentional misuse of equipment or materials, and aiding and abetting the perpetration of such acts. The preparation of reports, papers, and examinations, assigned on an individual basis, must represent each student’s own effort. Reference sources should be indicated clearly. The use of assistance from other students or aids of any kind during a written examination, except when the use of books or notes has been approved by an instructor, is a violation of the standard of academic conduct.''

In the context of this course, any work you hand-in should be your own and any material that is a transcript (or interpreted transcript) of work by others must be clearly labeled as such. If you turn in work that is directly copied from another student or from a published or unpublished source without attribution, you risk failing the course.
