In general, problems are due in class on Monday. Some of these problems will be done as in-class examples, so pay attention. Outside of class, I encourage you to work together on solving homework problems. However, I do expect that what you turn in will be your own work. (I.e. don't copy someone else's calculator errors!) If you don't know what you are doing on the homework, ask someone! If you classmates don't know, ask me. If you feel very confident about doing the homework, you should feel very confident about how well you will do on the exams.
The homework grader will be grading the homework using spot grading. That means they will verify that you have done the problems, and then grade in detail a fraction of the assigned problems. (The fraction may be "1", depending on how long the grading takes.) Late homework assignments will not be accepted. However, a full homework score can be achieved even if you miss one assignement, because I will, count the lowest grade from all of your lab grades as a "point reduction bonus" onto your final test.
You must obey the following guidelines on all homework assignments, or potentially lose points (typically 1 point out of 10 per infraction):
Be sure to show all of your work, with explainations every couple of lines as needed for clarity. Include units!
Variations on the problems assigned may be posted during the semester.
