You may certainly ask your instructor questions about the articles, but don't wait until the last minute. All writing assignments should be word-processed. Answer the questions in order, and number them. Be sure to keep a back-up copy of your writings on disk. For mathematical work that is difficult to word-process, print and use dark blue or black ink.
Work written in pencil or light colored ink is unacceptable.
Grading The writing assignments are an important part of your work in this course. Each assignment will receive a letter grade. If you provide thoughtful and well-developed responses to all questions, you are assured of at least a B on that assignment. Responses that are late, incomplete or sketchy usually will earn a grade of C or lower, while exemplary work is required for a grade of A. An exemplary paper is free of grammatical and spelling errors and reveals unusually thoughtful and thorough consideration of the issues in the article. A copy of each article is on reserve in the library, under Brown, T101 Readings .
