OR 441 - Homework Assignments
Fall, 2004
Homework will be
assigned at each session. Homework is worth 15% of your final grade. Usually
two problems from the set will be chosen by the instructor for grading, each
problem counting 5 points. Thus, each homework assignment is worth 10 points.
The lowest homework grade will be dropped. For each day that the homework is
late, the grade will be reduced by 10%. All work must be clearly written.
Illegible work will not be graded.
This page will be
updated on a weekly basis. I will try to update this page on Friday morning.
Note: Homework
assignments might be changed as the semester progresses. I have provided my
anticipated schedule for those that want to get a little ahead in the course.
