Statistics and Data Analysis for
the Social Sciences
Computing Assignments
General information
Computing assignments will be due at various times
throughout the term. It will be best to ask questions
regarding these assignments during the recitation
section.
In particular, I discourage hastily thrown together pages
of Excel output. Think about how you present the
relevant information; cut out what is irrelevant. Each
assignment may contain no more than 2 pages, including
any plots and statistical output you may wish to include.
There will be severe penalties for anything over 2 pages.
