* All assignments will be due in one week, unless otherwise noted. Homework grades will decrease by one point (10 pt scale) for everyday the assignment has not been turned in after the due date. Homework that is turned in after the class following its due date will receive a grade of zero. Late homework will not be accepted for full credit without a legitimate health or interview excuse. Advice: there is a very high correlation between low exam grades and lack of homework turned in. We discourage email submission of homework, if you must use this technique ask for a return receipt to verify delivery.
