Homework Grading Instructions:

• Comments to the students are the most important part of the process
• Ask Joanne for a grading template to fill in (this will include a row for each student and columns for entries of scores, comments for me and other information).
  • Comments to me should include whether the homework was late (and if so, what date it was turned in) and which types of problems there were in the solution.
  • Assigning scores: Basically correct and nicely written gets a grade of 2. Confusingly written or mostly wrong solutions should get 1. Only give it a 0 if the solution is not turned in. A grade of 3 should only be given sparingly to solutions that are far better than the rest, either because there is a very clever idea or a particularly nice writeup (not just a good writeup). Decimals are allowed, but not required.
• Prepare a solution in latex format. If there are alternate solutions, sketch the ideas for those too.
• When you are done, please meet with me to go over the homeworks and the solution.
• Due date: Everything is due within one week.
• Note that part of your grade in the course depends on the quality of your grading, solution writeup and promptness.
