1. Projects may be worked on and submitted together by groups (maximum of 3 per group).  All the names of the group members and their signatures are required on the front page.

 
2. Deadlines on the projects will be enforced strictly. (Each day late means a 10 point deduction).

 
3. All projects and exams should be neatly written on one side of 8-1/2" by 11" paper

and stapled together.  The name and mailbox number should appear in the upper-right
corner of the front page. Failure to do so will mean a maximum of  3 pt deduction.
