* homework will be due one week from assignment, unless otherwise noted
** Each group will make one oral presentation in class during the period 11/18 to 12/11. Exact days will be assigned after groups have formed. A written report will not be required for the week your team presents. Two written progress reports must be posted for the other two weeks.
Homework grades will decrease by one point (10 pt scale) for everyday the assignment has not been turned in after the due date. Homework that is turned in after the class following its due date will receive a grade of zero. Late homework will not be accepted for full credit without a legitimate health or interview excuse. Advice: there is a very high correlation between low exam grades and lack of homework turned in. We discourage email submission of homework, if you must use this technique ask for a return receipt to verify delivery.
