THE FOLLOWING RULES ARE INTENDED TO ASSIST BOTH YOU AND US.
THIS IS A LARGE CLASS AND GRADER AND TAs HAVE A HEAVY LOAD.
WE ARE HAPPY TO SPEND TIME TO ASSIST YOUR UNDERSTANDING,
BUT IT BENEFITS NOBODY FOR US TO WASTE TIME ON POORLY PRESENTED WORK.
1. Read the assignment carefully. Follow all instructions.
2. You may work with other students to discuss and solve problems, but
you must write up you own solutions in your own words. If two (or more)
submissions appear to be copies, both (or all) will receive a zero grade.
3. Start your assignments early enough to have time to ask questions of the
instructor or TA if you don't understand something.
4. Justify or explain your answers. Comment on your results -- is it
surprising, expected, sensible?
5. Show your work. Do not just give the answer. It is your responsibility
to convince the grader that you understand how to solve the problem.
6. Homework is due at the beginning of the due-date class session.
Any homework turned in after class has begun is considered to be late.
Late homeworks will not be accepted.
7. Homework may be turned in outside of class only by previous
arrangement. Email is NOT an acceptable method of homework
submission.
8. At the top of the first page of your assignment, write your name,
the course number, the section, TA's name, assignment number and due date.
9. Writing must be legible. Leave generous margins.
10. Writing may not be in red ink or red pencil.
11. All problems must be numbered, labeled, and in the order assigned.
12. All pages of assignments must be 8.5 inches by 11 inches, numbered
sequentially, collated in the correct order, and stapled together in the
upper left hand corner.
13. Neatness, clarity, oranization and conciseness all may affect your
grade.
