Homework and Exams Policy

Homework

Problem sets are handed out in an approximately biweekly basis -- the full schedule with exact dates is available in the Calendar Download Calendar.

Please look at the Assignments section for the Problem Sets.

We expect you to turn in all completed problem sets on time. Homework problems are submitted via Gradescope (see link on the toolbar on the left). 

If you submit after the stated deadline (but within 24 hours), there will be a 10% penalty on the grade.

After 24 hours, late homework will not be accepted, unless there is a prior arrangement with the instructors.
