Homework Assignments
Ground rules: work in groups of 3. Email me to let me know what the groups are. If you would like some help finding partners, let me know. Turn in one homework set per group. Everyone in the group gets the same grade. What you turn in must be neat, and written with an appreciation that an actual person (me) has to read and understand it. Midterms and projects will be solo, so you will each need to know the material. If anyone has any concerns about this system, please let me know.
