INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOMEWORK

DO's

• Use 8.5 x 11 paper. White is preferred (unbleached is fine).
• Write on only one side. You may use recycled paper with writing or typing on the other side. I will only look at one side of each page.
• Staple in the upper left hand corner.
• Write your name clearly at the top of the 1st page and number the pages.
• Leave space between problems.
• Use lined paper unless you are very good a writing straight and with a consistent size without lines.
• Always write in complete sentences. Even (in fact, especially) the equations should be part of sentences. Please use notation as appropriate (i.e., y=2x is fine and should NOT be written "y equals two times x", the "=" symbol is the verb). Good tests are to ask yourself "Is this like it is written in the text?" or "If I read exactly what I have written, in order, no added words, to someone over the phone, would they understand?"

DON'Ts

• DO NOT: Hand in pages ripped from spiral note books.
• DO NOT: Use paperclips or "dog-ear" papers together.
• DO NOT: Hand in pages out of order.
• DO NOT: Write sideways or crowded (just go on to the next page).
• DO NOT: Hand in sloppy work.
