Homework sets will be graded on a 10 point scale. If I judge that you made a sincere effort to get your homework done on the first submission, then you will be given an opportunity to rewrite and resubmit problems. The best grade you can get by submitting a homework set the second time is 8.5 out of 10. To receive an 8.5 on a rewrite, you must redo all problems with serious errors correctly. Typically, I will indicate problems to be rewritten when I grade your paper.
Rewrites are due one week after the class period in which the original work is returned.
In some instances, students will be allowed to submit a homework set a third time. The best grade you can receive on a third attempt is 7 out of 10. Also, it is difficult to get a 10 on the first draft of your homework. If you want to do well in this course, you will need to begin your homework well in advance and spend time writing it up correctly. Help with writing mathematics correctly is found here .
