Write out complete
answers NEATLY and CLEARLY.
For written
problem assignments:
Number each
exercise to the left.
Work only one problem across the page -- i.e. problems should proceed form top to bottom.
You must show your work! Correct mathematical notation must be
used. Partial credit is given when work is shown even if answer is
incorrect. However, correct answers without any work shown will in general
be given no credit.
If the problem is a computation leading to a final answer, box the answer.
Use pencil and eraser -- do not scratch out work.
Start homework
early and see me for help with problems you don't know how to work! It is
inappropriate to ask how to do a problem in class the day it is due!!!!
Staple your pages together before submitting. My office
is Core 257-- See my schedule
for office hours or call or send email for an appointment. I am always
delighted to help.
