Ph1b 2009 - Instructions for writing homeworks and quizzes

These are the instructions for writing and submitting homework and quiz.  Following these guidelines will increase the likelihood of prompt and accurate grading and recording of scores.

• Homework should be turned in Wednesdays before 4pm outside of 201 E. Bridge (the lecture hall of this course).
• Quiz due dates are listed on the website, and it should be turned in to the box outside of 201 E. Bridge, which is a different one from the homework; please make sure that your problem set/quiz go into the correct section boxes.
• Please write down your name, section number, homework/quiz number.
• Please write your last name first, and then first name, as the score sheet is sorted by last name; this will help the graders recording your score.
• The student's name and section number should be legibly written on the top right-hand corner of the first page of each problem.  The student will not receive credit if the paper cannot be identified.
• Homework and quiz without section number will be deducted 1 point.
• Homework without names will not be graded.
• If you have switched your section, please mention that in your homework/quiz for better bookkeeping of your grade.
• Remember: late homework and quizzes should be submitted to your section TA only, not head TA or the boxes mentioned above.
• Late HW/Quiz without any extension granted will be accepted up to one week late for 1/2 credit.
• If you receive an extension from the section TA, please mention the condition on the front page. (e.g., extension granted from section TA with full score or x% off). If there is no note, it will be taken as late without extension, so it will be 50% off by default.
• If you receive an extension from the Dean because of medical or personal issue, please attach a doctor's note or mention the Dean's extension on the front page of your work. In this case the extension period will depend on your situation.

Any questions about grading should be directed to the head grader (Ming-Shr Lin), not the graders or the section TAs.
