Quiz grades:
+ excellent job!
acceptable - unacceptable
These correspond to scores of 5, 4, or 2 (out of 5), respectively.
At the end of the term, your lowest quiz grade will be dropped.
Homework writeups:
Show enough intermediate steps so that a fellow student could do
a similar problem based on your work; it should answer the
question "How did you come up with that?"
Show enough work so that I could give you
some partial credit even if your final answer was wrong.
If you use a calculator, indicate what you computed and how you interpreted the output. If you look at a graph, indicate which feature of the graph brought you to your conclusion. If you used a formula, show which formula you used and what numbers you put in it.
For each assignment, n problems will be chosen "at random" and graded out of 5 points, for a total of 5n possible points on each assignment collected.
The points awarded for each problem are:
5 points if you showed WHAT YOU WERE THINKING and it was correct
3-4 points if you showed what you were thinking and had a mistake
2 points if you tried but were clueless
0 (ZERO) points for just the answer with no thought
NOTE: If the grader puts an "X" through something, that means that
it is wrong (and you should check it), but the X's don't
necessarily correspond to the points.
