Homework Policy:
• Late homework WILL NOT be accepted for any reason. Because things happen, I will drop the two lowest
homework grades at the end of the semester.
• Homework problems will be assigned from each section and collected every Wednesday, unless indicated
otherwise.
• Your homework will not be graded if the following instructions are not followed:
1. Your homework must be written in pencil.
2. The solutions you submit should be written neatly and in an organized manner. I recommend using scratch
paper for harder problems and writing your final solution neatly to submit. If I or the grader cannot read it,
we cannot grade it.
3. Write your name and the assignment number on the front page. If multiple sheets are required to complete
an assignment, label each sheet with the assignment number, the section you’re working on and your
name, and STAPLE them together.
4. Show your work!
5. You are encouraged to work together on homework assignments. However, each of you must submit
your own assignment. Everything you submit should be in your own words, and you should thoroughly
understand everything you write down.
• Please feel free to come see me during office hours or e-mail me if you have questions about the homework.
You may also get help from the Mathematics Tutoring Center (see below).
Quiz Policy:
Three quizzes will be administered throughout the course of the semester. No make-up quizzes will be given, except in
the event of an emergency. Please write neatly in pencil, show all of your steps, and circle your answers on any quiz.
Exam Policy:
Two exams, plus the final, will be given. Students must bring a valid ID to the exam. No make-up exams will be given,
except in the event of an emergency. Please write neatly in pencil, show all of your steps, and circle your answers on
any exam.
