Math 31A Fall 2016
Homework Assignments
You write your homework with a pen or pencil, and paper.
You put your name, discussion, and UID on it,
and turn it in at the start of class, on the due date,
in piles organized by discussion. Stapling it is a good idea.
NO late homework will be accepted, but the two lowest
homework scores will be dropped.
You are allowed to work in groups on the homework, but
ultimately you are expected to be responsible for writing up your homework (and, of course,
for understanding it). Further, the homeworks should be neatly written and legible. You
can lose points for the homework being poorly organized, illegible, and, of course, for having
incorrect answers.
