Notice that the optional homework and other extra points may bring you one grade up in the scale and give you a final score that can reach 110. Homework, exams and projects are to be worked individually by each student. Only the professor can help. Cheating in homework results in 0 points for the particular homework for all students involved. All homework is due before class on the due day.
Late homework receives zero points.
Homework problems will be graded not only based on the final answer but also based on appearance, presentation, clarity, well-stated thoughts and procedures. Use graphics as much as possible trying to condense numbers and computer printouts. Homework will require computer use. Everybody has to become an expert on spreadsheets. Required homework will be minimum.
