Instructions

Turn In

• Use the homework Word file in the Modules section for each week as your homework document.
• For the:
  • Short answer problems: Turn in your answers with each answer appearing next to or under the corresponding question. For example, in the Word document, write each answer under the corresponding problem, retaining the given problem numbering system.
  • Python coding: Create a Jupyter Notebook with the properly numbered questions with the Python and the output in the cell below the question. Include some markdown cells explain what you are doing, though you do not need any sense of documentation such as I provide in the template.
• Turn in your:
  • Short answer homework document in pdf or MS Word format.
  • Python analysis as a pdf file (not a .ipynb format, which does not open in Canvas).
    Note: Due to a Safari web browser bug, if you use Safari for your notebook, you will need to first save your notebook as an HTML file, then open the HTML file in your browser and convert to a PDF.
• If you work in a group, only one group member turns in the assignment with the names of all 2 or 3 group members displayed at the beginning of the document.

Format

• Show your work.
• For written computer instructions, include the relevant computer input at the beginning of each answer that requires computer output to answer(otherwise answer not complete).
• NO computer dumps of all the output, copy and paste ONLY the relevant information from the output to answer each question (otherwise answer not complete).
• If you create a visualization, show it (otherwise answer not complete).

R Issues

• For a given issue that you encounter where you need help, copy and paste from the R console into an email. Do not take a screen shot. The R console is straight text, no need for screen shots, which then lose the text property of copying and pasting.
• Include in your information that you forward in an email a look at your data from: head(d).

Scoring

Homework is primarily scored for completion. Homework is a learning exercise where you can work with other people, and share your learning. That also means that even if your homework is scored with the maximum score of 10, always compare your answers to mine when I post the solutions.
