Individual Homework Formatting Instructions
Homework submissions that don't meet these criteria will result in deductions from your grade or nonacceptance of the assignment.

Grading Policy
On the individual homework, I want to give you some idea of how to interpret your performance on each graded exercise, separate from the collective score (which takes into account completion rate). These scores inform the score I assign to your individual homework, but don't dictate it; for example, I may choose to weight the graded problems differently when assessing the homework assignment as a whole, and the completion rate may be more or less important on some assignments. Each graded problem will be assessed on a 5 point scale: 5=entirely or nearly correct, 4=nearly correct but solution is poorly presented or contains a notable error, 3=mostly correct but a significant mathematical error, 2=significant progress in the right direction but multiple errors, 1=a genuine attempt at the problem, 0=little or no real attempt at the problem.
