COURSE DETAILS:

To Receive Credit for this section of STAT 812 Through a Co-op Work Term

Statistics M.Sc. students are generally required to obtain credit for the consulting courses STAT 811 and STAT 812 as part of their program. The principal purpose of this requirement is to ensure that students have practice dealing with clients in a consulting context. However, with the approval of their senior supervisor, students may earn credit for STAT 812 through a co-operative-education work term. In order to get credit for STAT 812 in this way:

  1. Students should ask their supervisor to write to the Director of the Statistical Consulting Service to request approval for STAT 812 credit. The supervisor should cc the Graduate Program Secretary, the Graduate Program Chair and the student when making the request to the Director of the Statistical Consulting Service.
  1. Once students receive approval from the Director of the Statistical Consulting Service, they may register for a co-op term. However, to avoid paying a higher fee, students should refrain from registering for STAT 812 until the term following the co-op term.
  1. Before the registration period begins for the term following the co-op, students should forward their approval for STAT 812 credit to the Graduate Program Secretary, along with a request to be registered for STAT 812 G200 in the upcoming semester (section G200 is graded S/U).
  1. Students need to submit, at the end of their co-op term, a report outlining their activities to the Director of the Statistical Consulting Service. The Director will assign an S/U grade and inform the Graduate Program Secretary of this grade.

Note: Co-op work terms are normally not allowed in the last semester of a degree program.

Registrar Notes:

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: YOUR WORK, YOUR SUCCESS

SFU’s Academic Integrity web site http://www.sfu.ca/students/academicintegrity.html is filled with information on what is meant by academic dishonesty, where you can find resources to help with your studies and the consequences of cheating.  Check out the site for more information and videos that help explain the issues in plain English.

Each student is responsible for his or her conduct as it affects the University community.  Academic dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive of the values of the University. Furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to the majority of students who pursue their studies honestly. Scholarly integrity is required of all members of the University. http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student/s10-01.html

TEACHING AT SFU IN SPRING 2022

Teaching at SFU in spring 2022 will involve primarily in-person instruction, with safety plans in place.  Some courses will still be offered through remote methods, and if so, this will be clearly identified in the schedule of classes.  You will also know at enrollment whether remote course components will be “live” (synchronous) or at your own pace (asynchronous).

Enrolling in a course acknowledges that you are able to attend in whatever format is required.  You should not enroll in a course that is in-person if you are not able to return to campus, and should be aware that remote study may entail different modes of learning, interaction with your instructor, and ways of getting feedback on your work than may be the case for in-person classes.

Students with hidden or visible disabilities who may need class or exam accommodations, including in the context of remote learning, are advised to register with the SFU Centre for Accessible Learning (caladmin@sfu.ca or 778-782-3112) as early as possible in order to prepare for the spring 2022 term.
