Assignments
Directions: Assignments are due at classtime on the due date. On the daily homework, I encourage and expect you
to work with other students, but you must write up your
own papers to hand in. Daily assignments are where you learn new material. I intend the Weekly Problems to be different. On these, I prefer you work with one other student, although you may work alone. If you work with a collaborator, please hand in one write up for the team. On each kind of homework, please use standard paper and staple multiple
sheets (please don't clip or dog-ear). I will not accept late homework,
except for documentable sickness or similar reasons.
NOTE: For many assignments, I put in parentheses extra problems that you are not to turn in but which would be good problems to use for study.
