Question: I was wondering how you wanted us to
save our work through R? Did you want us to just
screenshot all the summaries and place all the photos of
those and histograms on a word document? Or did you want
us to save each file that gave us all of our information
through .csv files? Answer: The first option would work much better
than the second one. Ideally, you would copy the summary
from the R console and paste it into LaTeX (or other
typesetting software) to create a seamless
presentation.
Question: Are we supposed to hand draw the
scatterplots or print them off from R? Answer: While you are welcome to draw your
scatterplots by hand, in the long run it is better for you
to lear how to present the data and your findings using
software.
Question: I am still waiting to receive my
textbook from amazon, however, it's not supposed to arrive
until ????, which is when the homework assignment is
due. Is there any possibility of me seeing you on Monday
and taking pictures of the homework problems from the
textbook you have so that I may still complete the
assignment on time? Answer:
You are always welcome to come to the regularly scheduled
office hours to peruse the textbook. However, the
instructor cannot guarantee to be able to meet you outside
of the said office hours. This is particularly the case if
the request comes over the weekend or very close to the
homework due date.
Question: I was wondering what type of paper I
should do my homework on to turn in. On the first day
handout, it says to do homework on standard size
paper. Does this mean plain white sheets of paper or
notebook paper? Answer:
Both kinds of paper you mention are acceptable. It is a
good idea however, to use just one type of paper
for a particular assignment. In particular, this means
that your printed out scatterplots should be accompanied
by typed up comments, answers, and remarks.
