Homework will be assigned via Google classroom. This page gives the instructions to follow while doing the work, and for turning in the work. Also, some common issues encountered by the students and the workarounds for the issues are also described here.

While doing the work

As students work on the homework assignments, the following should be adhered to:

1. They should do their work using pencil and paper. In particular, they should not merely type up the answers in an online document.
2. They should show the steps leading to the final answer. For any problem, they should not just give the final answer.
3. They should write the topic name for the group of problems belonging to the topic. For example, if some problems are from the topic “Functions”, they should group the problems under the heading “Functions”.
4. For each problem in the assignment, they should give the problem set number and the problem number.
