Homework & Labs: Homework and lab assignments will be given throughout the semester. Subsets of these assignments will be collected and graded frequently. You should work on as many problems as possible, including problems not assigned. All papers that you turn in must be legible with problem numbers and solutions clearly marked.

Homework Policies:

  1. Homework is due at the start of class on the assigned due date. Late homework will not be accepted. If you know that you will be missing class for some reason, you should turn in assignments beforehand or have someone turn it in for you. Extensions may be granted under extenuating circumstances, but these should be discussed with me in advance.
  2. You may discuss homework problems with others (including, but not limited to, your classmates) but you should independently work and write-up the final submitted solution.
  3. Assignments must be written neatly in pencil or ink (blue or black). Messy work that is difficult to read may receive no credit.
  4. Homework will be collected on a regular basis, though not all assignments will be collected. Collected assignments will be evaluated for neatness, completeness and/or correctness.


Statistics Clinic:
