Howdy!
Follow along while I work through operations management 3452. Below are
snippets from the syllabus which include the course schedule, exam and
homework information, and final exam review sheet.
Navigate to the Get
Started
tab to see how I work homework problems using R and python. And finally,
use my notes for all the course videos at the
Articles
tab. Videos will be broken down into sections of their respective week.
Each major heading will be associated with a different course video.
Feel free to contact me with any questions, suggestions, typos, or mistakes using the communications tab in D2L.
