Homework Grading Instructions:

• If there are others grading the same problem, meet with them to coordinate and discuss a rubric.
• Comments to the students are the most important part of the process. Please give them feedback if something isn't clear (or correct). It is ok to publish a list (send it to me and Joanne and we will post) of common errors and refer to the list when grading in order to save yourself having to write the same things out over and over.
• Ask Joanne for a grading template to fill in (this will include a row for each student and columns for entering scores, comments on problems or good features of the solution, date turned in, whether lateness was excused and other information)
• Grade on a scale of 0,..,3:
  • Basically correct and nicely written solutions get a grade of 2.
  • Confusingly written or mostly wrong solutions should get 1.
  • 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).
  • Give a 0 if the problem isn't turned in.
  • It is ok, but not required, to use real numbers (such as 1.7).
• Prepare a solution in latex format. If there are alternate solutions, sketch the ideas for those too. You may use one of the submitted solutions, but you should get permission from and acknowledge the person that wrote it.
• 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.
