Information about problem sets will be posted here as it becomes available.
Some of these assignments will reference a collection of problems assembled for this course.
For some problem sets, I may put together some notes. You can find those here.
Homework done via pencil-and-paper or in RStudio will be submitted using Gradescope. Please
Unless you have other instructions for a specific assignment, the work you submit should be your own work. You may consult with classmates as you work on it, and I encourage working together, but you should do the work yourself. When other students ask you questions, your answer should not be to show a complete solution to a problem but to assist the other student in coming up with the solution.
You should already have received an invitation to Gradescope. Gradescope (https://www.gradescope.com/) is a system for submitting homework. Basically you scan your hand-written work to a PDF or upload PDFs that you create some other way (Word, RStudio, etc.) Gradescope provides a nice grading interface and has the potential to give you better feedback than most other systems I have seen.
Some instructions/tutorials
Note: Please take two important steps to make grading work as smoothly as possible.
Submit your work as a single PDF. Gradescope allows you to submit other types of files, but they are harder to work with for the grader. If you work in RStudio or Word, simply save your work as a PDF. Hand-written work can be converted to PDF using one of many online tools or an MFD on campus. Here are a couple examples of ways to create PDFs.
If you have multiple PDFs, please combine them into one PDF before submitting. There are several ways to do this. Here is an online tool that can combine files of various types, including PDFs:
Identify which pages of your submission have work for each problem. This way, it is much easier to grade one problem at a time without spending lots of time trying to locate your work.
You probably want to keep your work in order, but that isnโt technically necessary, provided you identify the pages associated with each problem. In particular, if you do some work in R and some with pencil-and-paper, you just need to idenfify what is where.
