Homework

I expect problems to be submitted in order, including graphs (when applicable).  I recommend you paste graphs into Word or another word processing program to add appropriate labels and comments.  Homework/labs must always be stapled if it is longer than one page.  If it is not stapled, only the first page will be graded.  The first page of each homework set handed in must contain the following information:

(1)  Your Name

(2)  STAT 350 and your section time (10:30/12:30/1:30)

(3)  The number of the homework or lab assignment (e.g., Homework #2, Lab #6)

 

Answers with no supporting work will receive zero credit!

Unless otherwise indicated, assignments are due at the beginning of class and must be submitted in the section you are registered for!

 

Grader's Comments on the Homework
