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 link below.) But there are turn-in boxes for all astronomy classes. Be sure to find the one for our class.

Please note that email is not the most effective way to get in touch with me. If you have any specific questions or concerns please see me before or after class, during the help sessions or call to schedule an appointment.
