Homework Assignments

You will have homework assignments pretty much every week. The homework assignments will be posted on Blackboard. Usually, you will have to submit your work online before Monday’s class. Please, write everything diligently and clearly. You can lose points if parts of your work are unreadable. Include all the necessary steps, maintain strict delineation, and highlight the main points, especially your final answer.

Assignments submitted late will not incur a penalty if a valid excuse is communicated to the instructor before the deadline. If submitted after the deadline without prior communication of a valid excuse, assignments will be accepted but with a 50% deduction from the total score. If an assignment is submitted after the solutions have been posted, it will receive 0 points.
