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. 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.
- 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,” or “I recieved help on this problem from Prof. Rosentrater,” or “I received help on this problem in class.”
- If you do not collaborate with another person, you must indicate this with a note saying that the work is entirely your own.
If you will be absent from class, arrange for your homework to be delivered to the class or to my office.
