Homework Guidelines

  • Each Friday we will post here in PDF format a set of around three written problems which are to be handed in by next Friday. Written homework should be turned in to the homework boxes outside of Kemeny 108 by 4:00 pm each Friday. Late homework will not be accepted, but we will drop the lowest homework score.
  • You should only do these once you have understood your practice problems, otherwise it's a waste of your time. These problems will have space for you to write, will be graded carefully, and are designed to be similar to exam questions to help train you for exams.
  • Make sure that you show all your work and explain all the steps. A correct answer with no work shown will receive minimal credit. This is good practice for what will be expected on exams.
  • Honor Policy:
    • Cooperation on homework is permitted and encouraged, but if you work together, do not take any paper away with you. In particular, you must write the solution up on your own.
    • In other words, you can share your thoughts (say on a blackboard), but you have to walk away with only your understanding.
    • Please acknowledge any collaborators at the beginning of each assignment.
