Homework Grading Instructions:

• 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 I 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.
• Grade on a scale of 0,..,3: Give a 0 if the problem isn't turned in. 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). It is ok, but not required, to use real numbers (such as 1.7).
• Within one week, I would like a file containing the name, grade and a summary of the comments. (I will give you a format)
• comments 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.
• 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.
• Note that part of your grade in the course depends on the quality of your grading, solution writeup and promptness.
