Remember: The text believes that you can think. There will not be an example in the book exactly like every homework problem.

Homework rules

Acknowledge your sources (people and texts).
In nontrivial problems, show how you get your answers.
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 graded.
