Unless otherwise noted, your homework is to write complete solutions for all the questions and problems from each assigned textbook worksheet. The goal of the homework is for you to gain understanding of the material and practice, so as to become able to solve problems on your own.

Homework Rules:
 | Always write complete solutions, showing all your work. A correct answer is not enough for full credit, because final answers to most questions are available to you at the back of the textbook. 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.
Problems should appear in the correct order, leaving room for a grader to write comments, if necessary. Cut off shaggy edges and staple all pages together, in order . (The grader may refuse to accept it otherwise.) |
| Homework is due in lecture on the posted due date. If you are unable
to come to lecture on a day that homework is due, then you may turn your
homework to your TA in quiz section before the due date
(on Tuesday), or
have it at your instructor's office no later than 3pm. There will two homework boxes outside Dr. Nichifor's office, which will be removed at 3 pm on the due date. Place your stapled and labeled homework in the file corresponding to your quiz section, inside the box corresponding to your lecture. If you arrive after 3 pm, then your homework is late and will not be accepted. |
GRADING: Your homework grade in this course has two components: a completion part and an accuracy part. Each homework is graded out of 10 points. On each assignment, you will receive up to 4 points in proportion to the number of the assigned problems you have completed regardless of whether or not they were done correctly. In addition, your instructors will choose 3 problems from each homework to be graded for correctness. We will not announce to you which problems will be graded. Therefore, it is important that you complete every problem assigned and include a complete solution for that problem. Students who make an honest attempt at every assigned problem will usually receive high scores on homework (even if they don't get the correct answers). Students who skip problems, do only half the assignment, or just write down the answers will receive low homework scores.
