Homework

All homework is due by noon on the date indicated.

Send e-mail submissions to whuber@quantdec.com.  The best format is plain text, but Word and Excel documents are fine, as well as the usual graphics files--jpeg, gif, bmp, wmf for example.  Please minimize the number of attachments you send.

Do not send ArcView projects!  (To find out why, create one on one computer, then e-mail it to another computer that does not have the data you used.  Try opening it on the destination computer.)
