HOMEWORK
We understand that people do their homework together. Nevertheless, we will not accept
homework which is a direct copy of another paper. Both papers will get a grade of zero.
Cheating on exams will not be tolerated!
On both exams and homework we require complete
answers which include the method you used to get the answer.
Answers without an explanation of the method used will get no
credit.
I also expect your answers to be expressed
in legible, lucid, correctly spelled English sentences. If not,
you will have points deducted from your homework score.
Because this class is large we must have
your homework papers turned in by the time they are due and in
the correct place. Late homework papers or papers left in
the wrong place will not be graded. If you ask a friend to
turn in your paper, make certain that he/she knows where to leave
it. The time each homework set is due will be posted (usually
Fridays by 5:00 p.m.).
Turn in your homework in class or leave
it in the box, labeled for this class, on the 13th floor of RLM.
The turn-in box is the one with a slot in its top near the floor.
(See the drawing below.) But there are turn-in boxes for all
astronomy classes. Be
sure to find the one for our class.
