Assignments

To the left you will find instructions for each Assignment. Please refer to the schedule for due dates. Note that sample code for the assignments can be found on myCourses.

Assignments will be handed on myCourses on the due date. All assignments are required to be labelled with course number, student number, student name and assignment number. Late assignments will be penalized 10% of the actual marks achieved for each (partial) day past 11:59 pm on the due date. Late assignments will not be accepted once graded assignments have been returned to the class (which results in a grade of 0%). Note that you are not required to use R (or other programming languages) for assignments, however, it is encouraged, and I will provide support and resources to help you with that (see Coding resources on the course website). Each assignment is worth 14% of your final grade.

Collaboration on homework is encouraged. However, you should think about the problems yourself before discussing them with others. Also, write-ups must be done independently. (In practice, this means that it is OK for other people to explain their solutions to you, but you must not be looking at other people’s solutions as you write your own.)
