Math 94-61 Homework Instructions

 

Homework:     Homework (online or traditional text) must be done on time and according to these homework guidelines:     

1)  Label with section (if text homework include the pages and the problems assigned).

2)  Copy the original problems with directions. 

3)  Show all steps including scratch work. 

4)  Check answers.  For online homework use the submit answer button and for other homework use the answer key at the back of the text or at the end of problem sets in the printed course notes. 

5)  Mark errors, but do not erase them.  If you make a mistake, redo the problem correctly next to it or at the end of the assignment. 

6)  Get help from me during office hours (or via e-mail) or from the Math Center staff if you need assistance.  See the syllabus for other help resources.

7) Staple homework as assigned per group of sections. 

 

A student solutions manual came with the text for worked-out answers for all odd numbered text exercises.  There is also a free tutor center code for toll-free telephone assistance.  You may choose between the two homework options: 

 

1.     Do the textbook homework shown on the homework handout. 

2.     Do the online homework on separate paper (or print the set first ) and show all work according to the homework guidelines.  Then insert your answers into the computer.  If an answer is wrong, use the options to view the solution to understand your error and mark this on your paper.  Select another problem of that type and try again.  Write your score on your paper.  You should get 85% or higher on online homework.  You may redo your homework sets as many times as you need to get a score of 85% or higher.  If you correct all of your mistakes, your score should show up as 100%.  Look in the text to choose a few selected problems of the types that you need additional practice on as needed. 

 

For full credit on the online quizzes, homework should be clipped together with the corresponding quiz work prior to handing it in.
