The other professor for Stat 400 this semester is Dr. John Millson. He has allowed me to give you the website for his section, and offered you the use of any of the materials from that page. Included on his page are all of his lecture notes and (eventually) solutions to the homework questions he assigns to his students.
http://www2.math.umd.edu/~millson//teaching/stat400.html
Testbank archives of past exams Search the testbank for STAT400, leaving Instructor, Year and Term as Any. MATH141 will be of some usefulness as well.
All tests are in Acrobat (.pdf) format, and many print well. For ones that dont, you can choose the Select Image tool, highlight each page as a block, copy it, paste it as a picture into a blank word-processing page, and print from there.
