Expectations

 

Style
     Homework papers should be neat, organized, and clearly presented.  Prose explanations of your work should be regularly included and the answers to application problems should always be interpreted in terms of the original question using complete English sentences. The explanation is the most important part of any solution.  Papers with multiple pages should be stapled.

    There should be no need for arrows on the page directing the reader's attention from one section to another. Rather, problems should be logically laid out with appropriate connecting prose and sufficient space so that they are easily readable. Papers not meeting these standards may have the scores reduced or may be returned ungraded at the grader's discretion.

Collaboration
    Collaboration on homework is expected and encouraged. Students having difficulty will find answers to some of their questions by working in a group and better students will have the concepts solidified by explaining them to others. Make sure, however, that all members of your group participate, that everyone understands each problem by the time that you are finished, and that all students write up the problem in their own words. It is a great disservice when a weaker student is allowed to be a passive observer to the problem solving process. You cannot learn mathematics by watching others solve problems any more than you can learn to swim by watching others do laps. There will be no reduction in score due to working with others provided the following guidelines are adhered to:

  • All students in the group understand the solution and are not merely copying solutions. Every solution should be in that student's own words.
  • All collaboration is credited. This will generally take the form of a note at the end of a solution like the solutions was compared with that of John Martin for verification or this solution was developed in collaboration with Jane Smith and Samantha Jones.
  • If you did the assignment on your own, include a note saying so.
