There are written assignments which are due once a week. Further details are provided
both by the above links (but you've looked at those already) as well as below.
Written homework assignments
The weekly written homework assignments will be posted here.
- Written homework should be turned in to the homework boxes outside of Kemeny 008 by 3 pm on the due date.
More details will follow.
- 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.
- Make sure your homework is neatly written; if the graders cannot read it, you will receive zero credit.
We also have some technical requirements: Use standard-sized paper that does not have ragged edges from being torn out of a spiral notebook.
