HOMEWORK for Math 111 A & B, Winter 2012

These homework assignments may be modified during the quarter. Changes will be announced in lecture or quiz section. (last updated 2/8)
Note: It’s a good idea to keep a copy your homework before turning it in, since sometimes later worksheets use answers from earlier ones.

	Due on:	Answer all questions fully and turn in the following:
Homework 1	January 12	Prologue + Worksheets 1, 2, 3
Homework 2	January 24	Worksheets 4, 5
Homework 3	January 26	Worksheets 6, 7
	January 27	This will not be collected but will be included on the midterm: Worksheet 8 (do by Jan 27 or earlier)
Homework 4	February 9	Worksheets 9, 10, 11, 12
Homework 5	February 16	Worksheets 13, 15 (warning: Worksheet 13 is long! Start it early!) Note: we'll mostly skip WS 14, so you need not turn it in as homework. However, you should know: 1) how to compute the formulas for TC and TR if you have the formulas for AC and AR, and 2) the note in italic text at the end of WS 14 (top of page 103 in your textbook)
	February 17	This will not be collected but will be included on the midterm: Worksheet 16 (do by Feb 17 or earlier)
Homework 6	March 1	Worksheets 17, 18, 19, 20
Homework 8 (not collected)	March 7	Worksheets 21, 22, 23 (this assignment is covered on the Final for sure, and should be done promptly, but will not be collected or graded due to lack of time to return)

Homework Guidelines

Your homework assignments are an important part of this class and an essential tool in studying for exams. Since how you present your solutions is as important as getting the "right" answer, you should adhere to the following guidelines when preparing your homework for submission.

• Answer all numbered questions from the assigned sections of your textbook.
• Always show all work. A correct answer is not enough for full credit. The final answers to most questions are provided for you; hence, the grader will be checking that you know how to get that answer, not just that you can write it down.
• You must write your name and your quiz section (for example, AC) in the top right-hand corner of your assignment.
• Be neat. Your grader must be able to easily read your solutions. (The grader may not give you credit otherwise.)
• Problems should appear in the correct order, leaving room for a grader to write comments, if necessary.
  Answer all questions from the assigned worksheets.
• For your convenience, copies of needed graphs and tables are provided at the end of the textbook. You can tear these off, fill in the work as appropriate, and turn them in with the rest of your homework.
• Cut off shaggy edges and staple your homework together. (The grader may refuse to accept it otherwise.)
• Homework is due in quiz section on the posted due date, or in the box outside Dr. Nichifor's office (PDL C-326) no later than 3:30pm on the due date. Make sure it's stapled, labeled, and placed in the correct folder! If you turn in your assignment after 3:30pm on the due date, then your homework is late and will not be accepted.

GRADING: Your homework grade in this course has two components: a completion grade and an accuracy grade. You will receive some points in proportion to the number of the assigned problems you have completed, regardless of whether or not they were done correctly. In addition, each week, your instructors will choose 3 problems to be graded for correctness. We will not announce to you which problems will be graded. Therefore, it is important that you include a complete solution for each question. Students who make an honest attempt at every assigned problem will typically receive high scores on homework. Students who skip problems, do only half the assignment, or just write down the answers from the answer packet will receive low homework scores.

Homework will not be accepted late for any reason. Instead, I do not count your lowest score towards your average. This is meant to compensate for any one minor emergency (such as: forgot homework home, lost a page, did not feel well, etc). If you have a serious and documented reason for missing a homework's deadline (such as being ill, attending a UW-related athletic competition, etc), talk to me and provide your documentation.
