Fall 2014: Homework

Written homework assignments are performed until mastery, as follows.

  1. Each written homework assignment includes three concepts.
  2. Each concept is exemplified by at least three written problems, available on the course web page.
  3. Each student needs to choose just one problem from each concept, thus each student should hand in answers to three problems per week.
  4. If a student receives less than a perfect score on any problem, she can try to raise her grade by working one of the other problems associated with the same concept. If the second problem is scored more highly than the first, it replaces the grade of the first.
  5. In-class written exams will be problems generated by the same algorithm that generates homework problems, and will be drawn from a subset of the written homework concepts.
