Assignment for Class 1

Homework

Please complete before the next class.

  • Read the syllabus carefully. If I’ve missed anything or failed to clearly explain any policy, please let me know. Come prepared to the next class with any questions or comments.
  • Order the simple pocket calculator that you’ll need for homework and exams, or make a plan to buy one (e.g., Walmart or other stores). Any “pocket” calculator works fine (not your phone or a graphing calculator). If you have questions about whether a calculator counts as “pocket,” just ask.
  • Read my notes on questions and notes on models. Complete the exercises; you’ll find some at the bottom of both sets of notes.
  • Bookmark the course webpage for easy access. It’s https://pos3713ri.github.io. I’ll add material here throughout the semester.
  • Make sure you have an up-to-date profile picture on Canvas.
  • Create an account on Posit Cloud. You can sign up directly or use an existing Google or GitHub account.
