(3) WARNING: Sharing ELECTRONIC copies of SPSS homework in part or in full is a university honor code violation.

(4) Turn in all appropriate output from SPSS in the order in which the exercises are assigned, including the original data (listed in SPSS) in parts A1 and B1.

(5) Label your output as parts C1, C2, A1, A2, A3, A4, B1, B2, B3 in BLUE.

(6) Avoid losing points due to sloppiness: Do NOT include extra junk; e.g., unrequested tables from SPSS.
