| Problem Sets: | There are FIVE types of homeworks --
(i) SKILLS, (ii) IDEAS, (iii) READING, (iv) CLASS PARTICIPATION (optional extra credit) and (v) CONTENT CREATION (optional extra credit). The SKILLS homeworks use the WEBWORK system. These problem sets have a weekly Friday deadline. The IDEAS homeworks are available and submitted electronically at SMARTSITE They are due at the beginning of every class but only graded every third Monday.

They are due AT THE BEGINNING OF THE NEXT LECTURE. NO LATE HOMEWORKS ARE ACCEPTED. Written homeworks will be graded both for correctness AND quality of presentation.
