Homework

Due every Friday, by 4:30 in your TA's mailbox in Vincent Hall room 107. Each week's assignment is worth 10 points, awarded as follows:

• 6 points for completeness. If you do all the problems completely, with all necessary work shown, you will get the 6 points. If your homework is incomplete, you will get points based on your TA's judgment of what percentage of the homework you did.

• 4 points for correctness. There will be four problems selected to be graded. You will not know ahead of time which problems will be checked. On each of the four problems, you will get one point for getting the problem completely correct, with all necessary work legibly written, and no points if your answer is not correct, or if it is illegible or if important work is missing. There will be no partial credit. Your partial credit was already given to you in the form of 6 points for completeness.

Late homework will be accepted at any time before the final, but only for 3 completion points. I will give your TA the option of deducting one point from your homework score if your assignment is not stapled and/or has ``frizzies'' on the side of the paper. (You can find a stapler and a paper cutter in the mailroom, across from the mailbox.) In general, unless there is a serious and/or systematic problem, I will not interfere with the TA's judgement on homework points.
