Advice on Doing Homework

Don’t piss-off the grader

• Write your name on the top-right of the first page.
• Write the title “Homework x.y” on the top-left of the first page.
• Number all problems, and their parts, as they are in the textbook.
• Legibly write the problems in order, and space things so they are easy to find.
• Follow directions. When you are asked for an explanation, make sure to give one!
• Turn your homework in on time using Gradescope at the Canvas site.

Making Homework effective for you

• Attempt all problems before looking at the solutions.
• After working the problems, check your answers and re-attempt any that are incorrect.
• Attempt all problems at least two days in advance. This way you can ask questions if you don’t understand!
• Its pathetic to start by copying the solution.

Ask for help

• In lecture. You will not be the only one with that kind of problem!
• At the Math Lab.
