Assignments and Grading Policy

Grades will be based on the following information:

Homework:	20%
Tests and Quizzes:	40%
Final Exam:	40%

Homework will generally be assigned in class twice a week, on Mondays and Fridays, and due in class one week after it is assigned. Homework assignments will be available on the web site after class. Short extensions on homework may be granted individually in advance in the case of very good reasons; if this kindness is abused, it will be revoked. There will be two one-hour tests in class and one two-hour final exam; there may also be quizzes if I feel they are necessary.

Please write your homework neatly and legibly, and staple or paper clip multiple pages together. I suggest that you first solve problems on scratch paper and then write them up neatly on the paper you hand in. If you cannot write legibly, you may wish to type your homework (and learn to write legibly on exams!). Some questions will ask you to prove (or "show") a statement, while others will ask you to calculate an answer; however, even on calculational problems you should be sure to show your work and make it clear how you arrived at your answer and why it is correct.

Please write the following at the top of your homework:

• Your name (important!);
• The course name (Math 151) and either the section number (35) or my name (Michael Shulman), so that if the homework is misplaced it can be routed correctly;
• Approximately how many hours you spent in doing this problem set (to help me assign homework of the correct length).

Collaboration Policy: You are encouraged to work together in solving the homework problems, but after solving them you should write up your solutions independently. This is to ensure that you understand the solution yourself and are not just copying someone else's work. Problems assigned as homework may also reappear on quizzes and tests, so you should make sure you can reproduce the solution yourself.
