Homeworks
Homework Guidelines: Homework is due by 5 pm on the due date. You can turn it in to the TAs during class or in the Homework submission box near Gates 188 and 182. Anything handed in after 5 pm on the due date will be penalized by 30% per late day (for instance: submitting at due date 5:05 pm is 1 late day). In order to receive a grade at the end of the course, all homework must have been handed in. All homework is to be done individually. If you have any homework problems, you are urged to bring your questions to the instructors or the TAs.- Show your work -- you'll get no credit for answers without explanations.
- Circle / Highlight your answers -- if we can't find your answers, we can't grade your assignment.
- Write legibly -- if we can't read your name or your answers, we can't grade your assignment.
- Staple pages -- if pages go missing, we can't grade your assignment.
- Use common sense for decimals -- if the question states a = 1.34, then don't give answers like 2*a = 2.680001245735. If your solution contains fractions, square roots etc., do not convert them into decimals until the "last" possible step.
