Homework Assignments and Midterm:
Grading policy:
We are aiming for a 1 week turn around on grading homework. At the time we give them back to you, solutions will be available in printed form in a binder that I'll keep, but you can make a copy. Turn in howework on time for full credit. If you turn it in within a week late, we take off 20%. Once the solutions are available and others have theirs graded, then it's too late. If there are extenuating circumtances, please let me know.
