1.
Each assignment will
include around 10 problems. Only 5 of them
(selected by the instructor) will be graded.
2.
Each problem MUST
begin on a new page and should include the following:
(a)
A brief statement of
the problem including any necessary given information or assumptions you decide
to make
(b)
Figures
(c)
Mathematical analysis
(d)
EXPLANATION
(e)
Your final answer with
a box drawn around it. This is
essential.
3.
Be sure to show your
work on all homework problems; the answer alone is never responsive, and points
will be deducted if important steps are missing from your development. Make
liberal use of carefully drawn and labeled diagrams in your homework. Since
significant partial work is usually given some credit on homework, it is a
sound strategy to hand in what you can do on each homework problem.
4.
Homework should be
presented on clean paper (8.5 x 11 inches) in a professional manner meaning
neat and legible. Work handed in with
excessive scratch marks and/or arrows will not be graded.
5.
No homework will be accepted late (homework is due in class on due dates before class
begins). A late entrance into the class
does not provide an excuse for handing homework in late. PLEASE DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO COMPLETE ASSIGNMENTS DURING THE LECTURE. THESE WILL NOT BE GRADED.
6.
Assignments will be
announced in class, typically one week before the due date. Check the course
schedule for homework due dates.
7.
Homework will be
returned to you within a week. Regrades
on homework will be considered for a week after that homework is returned to
you.
8.
Please discuss problems
concerning grading of homework with your TA before you come to the instructor.
The instructor will only entertain discussion on homework grades after the TA
has had an opportunity to discuss your problems with you and has marked out his
decision.
9.
Be sure that your name
and student ID number are at the top of every page. Also, PRINT your name in block letters, LAST
NAME FIRST.
10.
It must be your own work! Cases of copying, cheating and fraud
will be treated as ACADEMIC DISHONESTY. You can talk with other
students, but you must then do the problem yourself.
