All assignments are due at 11:59 PM US Eastern time unless otherwise noted. This schedule may be updated as the semester progresses with all changes documented here (Sakai announcements will be made prior to any potential changes).
Change (Jan. 19): All lab due dates moved one week later from original dates.
Change (Feb. 20): Feb. 20 lab changed to be a review lab (instead of re: transformations).
Change (Mar. 21): Missing data, mixed models, and careers lectures moved to be after multinomial regression.
Change (Apr. 6): Homework 9 moved one week later; Homework 10 canceled (there never should've been such a thing listed on the schedule).
