Homework
There will be approximately eight homeworks between early September and late November. Homeworks and their due dates will be posted in the Lecture Schedule in a timely manner.

Late Homework Policy Homework is due at the beginning of class on the due date. You can either bring it to class or drop it in the designated wall pocket next to my office door, before class. After the due date, but before solutions are handed out, homework can be turned in for 50% credit. After solutions are handed out, 0% credit will be issued. You are encouraged to work in groups for homeworks but you will hand in your own solution individually, which you are expected to understand.

Tests The exact dates of these tests will be posted in the Lecture Schedule in a timely manner.
