Homework assignments are intended to be practice to be certain that you understand the material. It is your chance to test what you know and to get feedback. Your best grade strategy is to attempt all of the assignments yourself before seeking help. Homework assignments will be graded on the basis of apparent effort, completeness, and clarity of presentation. You will be in charge of self-evaluating your homework solutions.
Assignments are due at the beginning of class on the due date.
Late assignments will not be accepted, except in very rare, very serious, and unexpected circumstances. The chance of acceptance of late homework will be improved by checking with the instructor beforehand. The course includes a fair amount of interpretative and explanatory material that will be presented only during lectures. Regular class attendance is very important to performance in the course, and will be checked in class periodically. Attendance has a large impact on assignment of the instructor's discretionary points.
