Homework Guidelines: Homework is due either in class on the due date or given to Paul before the end of his office hours
  1. Show your work -- you'll get no credit for answers without explanations.
  2. Circle / Highlight your answers -- if we can't find your answers, we can't grade your assignment.
  3. Write your name legibly -- if we can't read your name, we can't grade your assignment.
  4. Staple pages -- if pages go missing, we can't grade your assignment.
  5. Use common sense for decimals -- if the question states a = 1.34, then don't give answers like 2*a = 2.680001245735.
