Please submit your assignments to me by email, as a PDF, Word, or HTML attachment (together with the associated R file), with a Subject: line "PSYC 6136: Assignment XX". To help me keep them straight, it would be most convenient to name them something like "YourName-AssignXX.{pdf,docx,html}".
There are three components to your evaluation in the course: two take-home projects (each worth 40%) that will involve analysis of one or more data sets together with a research report describing the background, your analyses, results and conclusions. For these, you can use any software you like, although R is strongly encouraged.
Here is a template for a markdown .Rmd file you can use if you are working in RStudio and want to write in R markdown.
Project 1 : a selection of data sets for the material up to and including logistic regression. Due date: Nov. 3
Project 2: a selection of data sets for the material from logistic regression to the end of the course. Due date: Dec. 15
