SOCI209 - Assignments

You are allowed and encouraged to collaborate with others. A group of collaborating students may turn in a single copy of the assignment with the names of all participants. Each participant will receive the same grade for that assignment. Alternatively you can turn in your own copy of the assignment even if you have worked on some or all of the problems in collaboration with others. Collaborating with others on one assignment does not obligate you to collaborate on other assignments.
People are sometimes amazed to discover that it helps to sit down and study the theory about a technique before attempting to solve a problem. This important insight is captured in the proverb: "When everything else fails, follow the instructions!".

Please turn in your assignments in a Word/WordPerfect format -- but be sure to show your work. You should probably attach output from stata, or excel, or systat too, but we would appreciate it if we didn't have to hunt through reams of output in order to find your answers.
Please attach a cover page (with the names of people who should receive credit for the assignment) to your homework assignment. Please do not put names on any other pages. (This is so we can grade the assignment anonymously.) Additionally, please be sure to staple the pages together.
In your writeup, be sure to show your work and describe the steps you take to obtain your answer, so you can get partial credit if your answer is wrong because of a computational mistake.
Remember to write the units (where applicable).
