Assignments
Ground rules for assignments
Unless otherwise stated, you may work on assignments individually or in pairs, and your choice may change from one assignment to the next.
For each assignment, I will create a group set in Canvas; you will sign up to form your group.
Only one person per group submits the assignment in Canvas. The submission is automatically shared with all group members.
Grades and feedback are shared with the whole group. By default, all members receive the same grade.
Assignments are due by 11:59 PM Chicago Time on the due date (Canvas gives due dates in your time zone).
Each submission must include all relevant files:
- A self-contained, working copy of any code used
AND - A PDF version of item 1, including the output, plus any analytic work.
- Legible handwriting and typed work are both acceptable.
- You may embed the analytic work as markdown in the code if you wish.
- A self-contained, working copy of any code used
