Guidelines for Homework Presentation
Problem Set Assignments
Last modified November 23, 1999Note: Of the problems listed below, you are only required to turn in those which are in bold print. This is to keep the grading timely and under control.
You are responsible for all of the problems, and I strongly recommend that you use the same standards of excellence in presentation for those you are not turning in as for those you are turning in. Rewriting and organizing your homework helps cement the ideas in your mind, and your homework will be an excellent study tool if it's well-explained and easy to read.
Review the guidelines for homework presentation frequently.
Please return the questionnaire handed out on 9/8
Remember to do all the assigned problems, not just those to be turned in!
note: Come look at the solutions to old homework problems! I have them all (or most of them) in a notebook in my office! I've tried (for the most part) to write them up in detail. You can even borrow a few pages to photocopy!
As always, remember to do all the assigned problems, not just those to be turned in! The exam does cover this material, somewhat.
For 1abc, do graph them on a graphing calculator!)
As always, remember to do all the assigned problems.
