All assignments are from Calculus by Hughes-Hallet, Gleason et.
al., (Wiley, New York, 3/e, 2002).
- Acknowledge your sources (people and texts).
- In nontrivial problems, show how you get your answers.
- Use notation correctly.
- Keep equations balanced; do not write "=" between unequal quantities.
- Assert equalities as appropriate; do not just list expressions.
- If you introduce new variables, tell what they mean.
- Turn in neat, well-written solutions, not messy first drafts.
Trim "fringes." Staple.
- Do not copy collaborative solutions; write up solutions in your own
words.
- Do extra credit problems entirely on your own.
Turn in extra credit separately from regular homework.
- Turn in homework on time.
As a courtesy to graders, late homework will not be accepted.
