After a student register their group, an invite to participate in GitHub repositories will be sent. These GitHub repos (hw1gxx, hw2gxx, hw3gxx, hw4gxx, hw5gxx, where xx is the group number) will contain the problem statement for each homework in R Markdown files. Further, these R Markdown files will contain blank code chunks, that should be filled in by students to address questions. Students must push their answers to the corresponding GitHub repos before the deadline. These repos are private so that only team members, the instructor, and the assistant have access to them. Note that only files in those repos are graded. Please see this page for other details.

Solutions to each homework, as well as obtained points and feedback will distributed via Slack.
