The purpose of the homework is to give you a chance to exercise the knowledge gained from the recent class material. Some exam questions will closely resemble homework problems. Most homework problems will come from the main text book. Homework is due on the Thursday of the week following its assignment. If we get off schedule and do not cover material at the time it appears on the class schedule, the homework will still be due the Thursday of the week following when the topic is discussed in class.
All homework assignments appear on the class schedule.
Be sure to read over the homework questions early so you will have time to ask questions if necessary. Late homework will be accepted only in the case of documented and extraordinary special circumstances. Homework grades will depend on the evidence of serious effort in approaching the problem. For homework, I am much more interested in evidence of effort to work your way through each problem than in a correct answer. It is ok to work in study groups on homework.
