Homework There will be 6-8 homework sets during the semester. Some of problems are fairly routine, but many are quite challenging. During the course of the semester, I will choose approximately 6 homework problems at random after the homeworks are submitted and grade those problems myself. The remaining homework problems will be handled by a grader. Your accumulated score on the remainder of the homework problems will count as your homework score.
Homework assignments are an essential part of the course.
This would not happen, in any event, until about the last month of the course, so I'll let you know what I decide by sometime before spring break. In an examination room and on take-home Exam 2, no discussion or consultation of any kind with any other person is permitted. Any solutions taken from other sources without documentation will result in a grade of 0 for the test or assignment. If you have questions about what is appropriate, please ask me. Students are encouraged to discuss homework assignments with each other, to share questions and ideas.
