In general, the announced quizzes will consist of questions on the assigned text readings or one or two homework-like problems. Students should not use red pen when taking quizzes or tests. All written work should be neat, organized, and should show sufficiently many steps to demonstrate a clear understanding of the techniques used. All homework assignments must clearly include all of the authors' names at the top of each page. All electronic work should have names in the header when possible and good comments in programs.
Homework is due at the beginning of class on the announced date due.
Late assignments will be accepted for reduced credit up until the homework is returned, and late work must be labeled as late. Written or printed homework assignments should be turned in before class or at the instructors office, but should NOT be sent through the CPO, or given to a student assistant. A selection of the assigned homework problems will be graded for credit, and assignments not meeting the above standards may receive reduced credit. Students should not use red pen for written homework. Working on homework assignments in groups is strongly encouraged, and some assignments will be specifically designed for teamwork, others for individual work.
