Homework and Lab Problems (225 pts)

I will identify a handful of problems at the end of each class, some of which will be conceptual questions about the material just discussed (the ``homework problems'') and some of which will involve modeling real data and will hence require the use of the computer (the ``lab problems''). There will be one homework set and one lab set due each week, electronically via Blackboard. The homework problems may be prepared using whatever means desired, but should be exported/``printed''/scanned to PDF once finished, to avoid format compatibility issues. The lab problems should be prepared using R Markdown, compiled to HTML, and then exported/``printed'' to PDF. For those who have not used R Markdown before, we will go over it. Honor Code: Each person must prepare their own homework and lab writeups, but you are encouraged to work on the problems together. However, working together may not consist of copying another person's written responses or code.
