be announced every week under
Homework Math 114
- Homework will be assigned on Monday, to be turned in on Monday of the following
week (in the TA's mailbox).
- Working in groups is encouraged, but you should produce your own
hand written notes of the discussion and/or homework problems.
-
Homework will contain instructions for reading. Make
sure you do the reading before the class for which it is assigned. I will
assume you have done so.
-
LATE WORK (homework, Maple, etc..)
will NOT be accepted.
Scoring
-
If you would like us to reconsider the scoring on one or
more exam/quiz/homework questions, please hand your
homework to the TA (for quizzes/homework) or me
(for exams) along with a short note on a separate piece
of paper explaining what you would like regraded and
why. You must do so within 2 weeks of when the exam
is handed back.
-
Please note that by requesting a regrade, you give your
permission for us to regrade any or all of the questions
on that assignment, which may help or hurt your overall score.
-
Notice that you are also responsible for checking
and make sure that the grade on your exams and
assignments matches the official record.
