INTRODUCTION TO EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN 960:490:01, Spring 2005
HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS
Homework will be assigned weekly and will be collected and graded. If at all possible, please type your assignments (you can handwrite computational parts, if needed). Some assignments will involve a SAS component. For such assignments, please include only relevant computer output by either attaching it as a properly labeled appendix or incorporating it directly into your exposition (the latter being preferred). No prior knowledge of SAS is assumed here, though any familiarity will be beneficial (e.g., successful completion of Statistics 390). Absolutely no late assignments will be accepted without prior arrangement, and I expect to grant very few, if any, extensions. Complete solutions to the assignments will be posted on our class website after all submissions have been graded. Overall, homework plays a key role in this course, and as such, I urge you to seek help immediately should you find yourself having any difficulty.
Please make sure your submissions conform to the following guidelines:
Please write neatly (or type) and double-space your solutions so that corrections and/or comments can be provided where appropriate. You must show all of your work. Solutions with no supporting work will earn no credit.
Unless I specifically request computer-generated answers (e.g., from SAS), do not solely submit computer output in lieu of a fully composed solution that details all relevant steps. If I do request computer output, please make sure that you actually comment on it rather than just assume that I know you have interpreted it correctly.
The use of pen is not advised as cross-outs and scribblings are unprofessional. Please use pencil or consider typing your solutions.
Please staple multiple pages. Do not use tear-outs from spiral notebooks.
While you may discuss the problems with fellow classmates, your final submission must be uniquely yours. Evidence of copying or plagiarism is a breach of academic integrity and will result in all parties involved receiving a zero. After a third offense, the matter will be turned over to the Dean's office. I should warn you that paraphrasing someone else's work is not a sufficient disguise.
Submissions that deviate significantly from the above guidelines are likely to be rejected as "unacceptable." Furthermore, violations of guideline #5 are much more serious.
