STAT 532: HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS AND SOLUTIONS

LAST UPDATE: 12 Dec 2018 at 14:45.

Homework Policy:

You may discuss the homework with your fellow students in detail.  When you actually write up your solutions, you must do this by yourself. The objective is to allow you to learn from interactions with fellow students, but to avoid direct copying of solutions.

You may not look at solutions to the homeworks (including old solutions from previous years) until you have handed in your homework.

Late homeworks accepted up to the next lecture at 50% off. You may always request an extension -

PLEASE MAKE REQUESTS FOR AN EXTENSION ON THE HOMEWORK BY EMAIL AT LEAST ONE DAY PRIOR TO THE DUE DATE

Note:  Homeworks are posted on this website as a convenience only. Failure of the homework assignment to appear on the website does not constitute valid grounds for handing in the homework late, unless an exception is granted by Dr. Cox.
