The Problem Sets will vary between Individual assignments and Group assignments. For the Group assignments, each group will turn in one paper. For the Individual assignments, I encourage you to discuss the assignment with other students, but you must turn in a separate paper that represents your own work. If you do work with someone else on an assignment, you should indicate that in a note on the top of your paper.
I have very high expectations for the presentation of the Problem Sets. If you do not follow these guidelines, I reserve the right to return your Problem Set ungraded! I am not being unnecessarily annoying about this. The process of carefully organizing your Problem Sets will help you better understand the course material.
-
Do not turn in your first attempt at the exercises. Expect to recopy every exercise in the Problem Sets to organize your solution and clarify your thought process.
-
Your writing must be clear and legible.
Your Problem Sets should be well-written, using complete sentences to justify your results where necessary.
A list of answers without explanation is not acceptable. Here is a good rule of thumb to follow when writing up your Problem Sets:
Write your solutions so that you could hand them to another student in the class and she
could understand your explanation.
If you write in pen, there should be no scratch-outs. -
Do not turn in paper torn from a spiral notebook with ragged edges. Scissors are a mature technology that you can use to address this issue.
Clearly label each problem.
The assignments can be time-consuming, so you should definitely plan to start early and to take advantage
of my office hours. The Problem Sets are due at the beginning of class on Friday mornings.
Late homework is not accepted!!
