Calculus and Probability for Life Science Students - Math 3C/1 - Fall 06

Writing Assignments

Subject to Change

1. No late homework will be accepted under any circumstances.

2. You need to put the following information on top of each homework page:
   • Name
   • Class (Math 3C)
   • Lecture (1)
   • Discussion Section (a, b, c, or d)

3. Homework must be stapled and legible.
   Clearly enumerate the problems and box or highlight your answer.

4. Assignments are to be turned in at the beginning of class and are considered semi-late if turned in between 8:10 and 8:50 on the day they are due.
   Semi-late assignments receive at most the ten points for completeness (provided the assignment is complete, which is defined below in 5.), and none of the problems will be graded in detail.
   Assignments turned in after 8:50 the day they are due are considered late and hence are not accepted under any circumstances. Note that you can always turn in your assignment early.

5. Each homework assignment is worth 20 points: ten points are given for completeness (i.e. for each problem not attempted in earnest you loose one of the ten points) and five times two points are given for five problems (which are picked to be graded) worked out correctly.

6. Items printed in red below, are items that were changed or added.

7. The two lowest homework scores will be dropped.

8. It is crucial that you do the homework in a timely fashion, as it is essentially impossible to learn mathematics without doing a lot of problems. You may discuss homework problems with other students, the TA, or us in our respective office hours before they are turned in, as discussing problems verbally and not only thinking about them alone can be quite valuable. I do expect two things, though: (i) you should try seriously to do the exercise yourself before discussing it with anyone, and (ii) you should write up the solution yourself after understanding it thoroughly, without following someone else's written version. Otherwise, the homework does you no good. The point is not merely (or even primarily) to do a problem correctly, but rather to learn how to think precisely and creatively so you can go on to do more sophisticated things.

   In particular and to be more precise: Copying of homework assignments is a violation of Academic Integrity and will be sought after.

9. Homework will be returned in your discussion section. It is your responsibility to pick up your homework and report any discrepancies in the recorded score MyUCLA gradebook by the day of the final exam at the latest, by providing the relevant assignment.
