    Homework

    There will be no exams in this course, so the grade will be based solely on your homework scores. Homework should be turned in on the day when it's due either in class or at my office (you can slip it under the door). Homework must be stapled. You are encouraged to collaborate on homeworks, however, writing up the solutions should be an individual work.
