Format guidelines for Written Homework
Homeworks for CS 373 must meet the following guidelines. They are
intended to help you develop good mathematical style and to allow us
to grade homeworks in a sensible manner. If you don't make a
good-faith attempt to follow them, we reserve the right to take off
lots of points or (in extreme case) give you a zero for the homework.
- Each problem must be written on a separate sheet of paper. (Or
a couple sheets stapled together) The sheets will be separated and
graded by different people, so your name must be on each sheet.
- Write your discussion section time (9, 10, 12, 1, or 3) in
the top righthand corner of each problem, nice and big. We return
homeworks in sections, which requires sorting the big pile into
separate section piles.
- Make sure the following information is clearly visible, and
legible, near the top of each sheet:
- First line: your name (last name, then first name).
- Your netid
- Homework number and problem number
- Names or netids of people you collaborated with
- If you want to attach your whole problem set together, use
a paperclip rather than a staple. (It's a pain to undo staples.)
- Your homework should be neat and legible. The writing should
be dark enough to be easily read. If you can't write legibly, learn to
use a mathematical formatting package (e.g. LaTeX).
