Joreskog, Karl, and Sorbom, Dag. Basics of Structural Equation Modeling . This class may be somewhat unusual in that I expect you to be able to replicate virtually everything that I demonstrate in class. I encourage your active participation, and I will call on students to be sure that you are understanding what is going on. The problem assignments are designed to give you practice in using the methods we are learning and in writing up your results.
Assignments are due on the date indicated on the syllabus unless otherwise specified.
We will usually go over them in class, so it is important to have them done before class. No assignments will be accepted after the due date. It also serves as a vehicle for enhancing your learning when we discuss the answers in the following class. Copies of one or two prior exams will be available in the Social Science Library so there should be no mystery about the type of questions asked. No make-up exams will be given.
