Important Notes:

 

1.      Homework is assigned on a daily basis and is due

 every Monday.

 

2.      Late homework will be assessed a 10% per day late

Fine.

 

3.      Each HOMEWORK SET is worth 20 points. Each

PROBLEM within a set is worth 5 points.

 

4.      A subset of 4 problems within a set will be chosen

to be graded. Your grade will be reduced one point for every non-graded problem you have not answered

 

5.      Homework should be done neatly. If I can’t read your

Work or easily follow your solution, you will receive zero points for that problem.

 

6.      If a homework set from a single section of the text

takes more than one page, then they should be stapled together. No torn “velcro” edges.

 

7.   Each section (ie. Section 2.1) of homework should be

stapled separately. Otherwise, stuff tends to get lost   or ignored. I AM VERY SERIOUS

 

8.      On HOMEWORK and TESTS, you must show all of

your work and give complete explanations of your work.

 

9.    Answers without mathematical support receive zero

  credit.

 

10.   Please notify me well in advance if you know that you will have an EXCUSED absence from an exam. If you become ill at the last minute, let me know as soon as possible. Otherwise no make up exam will be given.

 

11.   Your grades will be posted on WebCT  You can get to WebCT  by pointing your browser at

Please check your grades regularly to check your progress in class and to see if any entry errors have been made.
