Homework Assignment Policies


1 Collaboration

You must work on homework assignments entirely on your own. You may only request help on homework assignments from the course instructor or the lab assistant (if there is one).

You may request help on general topics from other students and friends. However, when doing so you must never refer to the homework assignment, either directly or indirectly.

2 Submission

You must submit "hardcopy" of your solutions on 8.5"x11.0" paper. Each submission must have a typed coversheet that contains the assignment number, your name, and your email address in the upper left corner. (This makes it easier to sort/organize them.) Each submission must be stapled. (This ensures that pages will not be lost.)

3 Due Dates

Homework assignments must be submitted in class on the day that they are due. Homework assignments submitted after the due date will not be accepted.

4 Grading

Homework grades will be based on effort, not on performance. Students who make a concerted effort on the entire assignment will be awarded a grade of 100, students who make a concerted effort on a a signifcant majority of the assignment will be awarded a grade of 75, students who make a concerted effort on half of the assignment will be awarded a grade of 50, and all other students will be awarded a grade of 0. As a result, it is particularly important that you show all of your work.
