Homework will be assigned most days in class but will only be collected on Wednesdays and Fridays. Homework assigned on a Monday will be due that Friday; homework assigned on a Wednesday will be due the following Wednesday; homework assigned on a Friday will be due the following Wednesday. (This schedule is intended to give you at least 4 days to work on an assignment and to have no assignments due on Mondays.)

Homework is due by 2 p.m. It can be brought by my office, put in my mailslot in 295 TMCB, or placed on the desk in the front of the classroom at the start of class. You are responsible for knowing when homework is due and for taking the initiative in turning it in. I will not take class time to remind you to turn homework in. A reasonably current table of homework assignments is at http://www.math.byu.edu/~grant/courses/m350/su01/hwork.html .

Homework that is turned in late, but less than one week late, will be eligible for 50% credit. Homework that is turned in one to two weeks late will be eligible for 25% credit. Homework that is turned in two to three weeks late will be eligible for 12.5% credit, etc. In case of an emergency (such as serious illness) or absence because of official university business, these deadlines may be extended by mutual agreement with the instructor. The length of the extension should be negotiated with the instructor as early as possible. In particular, extensions for foreseeable absences must be negotiated before the absences occur. Indeterminate extensions will not be given. Under no circumstances will homework be accepted (for any credit) after midnight, August 13.

If a problem has a number as its answer, you will be expected not only to write down that number but also to write down a complete, clear, well-organized, gramatically correct argument why that number is the right one. Please do not turn in your scratch work.

You are allowed to discuss homework problems with the instructor and with classmates but not with anyone else. In particular, obtaining solutions on the Internet or having a tutor solve the problems for you is impermissible. You should not copy a classmate's solution nor should you let a classmate copy your solution. If you do talk to a classmate about a problem, you should each still write up your solutions independently. If two people turn in identical solutions to a problem, that probably means there has been too much collaboration. If you have any questions at all about this, consult BYU's Academic Honesty Policy or ask your instructor.
