9/21 Comments on the neatness and organization of HW.
It is to your advantage to make your HW as
neat as possible. If your TA can follow your
logic clearly, then it is more likely that you
will receive the proper credit for your work on
the 10 point problems.
It is also to your advantage to organize
your HW as clearly and as neatly as possible.
This increases the likelihood that your TA will
find all of the one point problems and be able
to determine that you have made a "good faith
attempt to solve them." Please do not simply
copy down the right answer and then expect to
receive credit for an attempt to solve any
particular problem.
Neatness and good organization is to your
own advantage as well as a point of consideration
for your TA and for your fellow students, whose
papers are being graded at the same time as yours.
Remember that your TA is grading as many as 100
HW papers per week.
Homework that is EXCESSIVELY sloppy and/or
disorganized, to the point of being extremely
difficult or impossible to grade, will not receive
credit, at the disgression of your TA. In such
a case the TA will make a copy of your HW paper,
in case of an appeal to the course instructor.
9/17 In tonight's HW (#11), drop problem 51
and add problem 25 (both in Ch 25).
The solutions to Test 1 are now available
in the Noble Library Copy Center.
9/07 There will be a nighttime help session
at 7PM in PSF-173 on Monday 9/10. At this
session, no test hints will be given, no new
material will be covered, and I will not do
HW problems. I WILL answer your questions
about concepts that you do not understand.

Library Copy Center. They are available with
