– possibly weekly – that are to be turned in electronically through Webassign. Paper and pencil
homework has the following requirements: (1) it is due at the beginning of class and will be considered
late if it is turned in after that; the grade will be based on two factors, your ability to communicate your
understanding of the problem and two its solution; solutions must be legible, and your logic easy to
follow; It is highly recommended that you complete your homework using a Murray Pad; multiple
pages of a homework assignment must be stapled or you will not receive full credit for the assignment;
DO NOT WRITE SOLUTIONS TO DIFFERENT PROBLEMS IN “COLUMNS” AND DO NOT
WRITE ON THE BACK OF THE PAPER! Correct answers where it is not clear how you arrived at
the solution may not receive full credit. It is STRONGLY encouraged that homework be done in groups.
Paper and pencil assignments will be accepted with up to four names clearly indicated at the top of the
first page.

material. Your lowest quiz score will be dropped when calculating your “quiz” average. There will be
no “make-up” quizzes given.
