Homework Assignments

Every week homework problems will be assigned, as from the list shown below. Problems are to be returned in the lock-boxes located in the basement of the Physics building (from the classroom, go down two floors, the boxes are opposite the vending machines). Homework must be turned in by noon of the date indicated. Problems returned after the deadline will receive a grade of 0. Solutions to the homework problems will be posted in the hallway next to the classroom as well as on the Web. The distribution of homework grades will be posted in early November and near the end of the term.

You are encouraged to work together with fellow students to discuss homework concepts, and you are allowed to work out the solutions together. Each problem set handed in should include EITHER the honour pledge (if you did it by yourself) OR a statement indicating the name of the student with whom the work was done. Be aware that, when working together with a fellow student, you should actually attempt to solve the problems together, not just copy answers and solutions. Homework will count for 25% of the final grade.

The homework grading will be done in the following way: each weak, the Teaching Assistant will randomly choose two problems among the assigned ones and grade them according to the scale:

10 = full credit. This requires that the written steps clearly indicate that a correct method was used, and that the answer was correct
9 = 90% credit. This means that a correct method was used, but a minor error was made in carrying it out
5 = half credit. This means that the right approach was used, but major or multiple errors led to an incorrect answer, or that the right answer is shown but without enough indication of the method used
0 = zero credit. This indicates no attempt or an incorrect method
