You will generally be given 1 week in which to answer them. There are no tests, because I am most concerned with how well you can solve a problem if you have sufficient time to think about it, rather than what you can quickly come up with in a very tightly timed situation. Because course grades are based solely on the homeworks and class participation, all homework must be your own work. For the assigned problems are not allowed to work with anyone else, nor search the literature. For example, you may want to get together with others to solve some of the unassigned problems in the book.
All assignments are due at the beginning of class on the day assigned.
If you are not able to attend class on that day, you may turn the assignment in to the professor or GSI earlier in the day. During class we will go over the assignment, so that you have immediate feedback on how to solve the problems. This is done by selecting volunteers to present their solution. Grading All grading is relative. If you have a question about the grade on a particular problem, see the GSI or grader.
