Homework Assigments

(Last updated November 11, 2019)



HOMEWORK POLICIES:

1. Homework problems are fixed when the "Assigned Date" arrives. Until that time, the problem numbers may change as we adjust the lesson plan based on class performance. You may work ahead, but please be aware that the problem numbers may change prior to the Assigned Date.

2. Only the problems listed under "To TA" need to be turned in. The problems listed under "On your own" are highly recommended to test your understanding. You are encouraged to compare your answers to those given by other students.

3. Homework papers are due by 4:30 pm on the "Due Date". Please write your first and last name, TA and section, the date, and the assignment number in the upper right hand corner. Place homework in the box for your assigned section. Boxes are located in front of the Physics Study Room (PSR). Use the box for your TA. If you turn in multiple pages, staple them together. Do not assume the pages will stay together if you simply bend the corners. Homework will be returned in the sections.

4. Show all work. We will receive no credit if you simply write down the answer. We recommend you solve the equations in variable form first and only plug in numbers at the end. Box your answers and be sure to include units (SI unless otherwise noted). Most importantly, write clearly. If we can't read your work we won't grade it.

5. Late homework will not be accepted. Do not wait until the last day to start the homework. In the event of an emergency, please turn in the portion of the assigment that you had already completed.
