3. Put your name and page number at the top of each page. Staple your work in the upper left hand corner to the back of the assignment sheet(s).
4. Each problem should be numbered clearly. Your writing must be neat and legible. Sketches should be neat. Use straight edge or template if necessary.
5. Solutions should proceed step-by-step. Don't skip critical steps. Partial credit will be given.
6. Box in your final answer.
7. Always show proper units if appropriate and include three significant digits.
8. Homework must be turned in on or before the date shown on the website assignments page. No late homework will be accepted. There can no exceptions to this policy. It is strongly suggested that you retain a copy of your homework. At exam times it is very likely you will not have your most recently turned in homework back, so it will be helpful to have your original work and the solution to refer to.
9. Partial grading will be employed on all homework assignments. Two problems will be selected randomly from each assignment. Therefore it is essential that you complete all the problems on each assignment. Complete solutions will be available for self-grading.
