While collaboration with fellow students is encouraged, you must independently write your own answers. You may ask each other questions and work together, but each student must produce their own written responses.

There will be two problem sets throughout the course, each consisting of a few questions. Problem sets must be typed and submitted electronically. Some problems will require statistical tools or software. Submissions will be made through Canvas and Gradescope, with Turnitin enabled. An AI use statement is required.

Grace period: Late submissions will be accepted for up to 24 hours after the due date with no penalty and without an extension request. After the 24-hour grace period, late assignments will receive a 25% deduction for each additional day.
