HOMEWORK
ASSIGNMENTS
TYPE. Handwritten (including "neatly printed") work will not be
read. If you have not started to use computers yet, this is a
good time. You may use single or double space according to your
preference. You may use both sides of the sheet if you wish to
conserve paper, or email.
SPELL CHECK: I should not be the first person to read your
work! You should always edit and revise. But at the very least,
let the computer help out & catch the glaring errors!!
NO COVER SHEETS. A heading including your name, the date (the
date turned in!), class, and some indication of the assignment (e.g.
"lecture 2/12" or "exam 3 questions") at the top of the [first] page is
sufficient.
HAND IN WORK ON TIME. If you miss class, deliver, or have
assignments delivered to the box outside my office, or to my mailbox
(A200 building) As Soon As Possible
E-MAIL or any electonic medium is also an acceptable medium for any
homework assignment. Remember to spell-check & edit
this work as well. Standards are not lowered because the medium
has changed. For email: use a
subject line and a doc. title that make
sense, either yourinitials- or
yourlastname-humgen-date, e.g. schmeidler-humgen-040120 (for April
Fool’s Day, 2020) or kts_040120-humgen. It is especially
important that any attached docs
should have sensible names including
your name or initials to distinguish your assignment 3 from everyone
else’s
assignments 3!
CITATIONS: always use a proper
[acceptable in science; not MLA] format - see web page for guidance
Due at the
beginning of every class session [1 point each set ] :
A brief statement of the three (3) most important, interesting, or in
some way notable points from the class. Please note that there is
no
"right" answer for this. As part of your review and study, after
lecture, note the points that intrigue you. Write a brief
statement of
the point -- fact, idea, comparison, unanswered question, or
whatever.
Explain briefly why you are intrigued. For these to be useful for
your
studying success, avoid the trivia, the "factoid", and focus on
significant points. These may be ideas, comparisons, statements
made
by someone else, or your own thoughts as you have looked back over the
material. Explain why you find these points interesting or significant.
[estimate ~ ½ page]
EXTRA
CREDIT: Due one week before each exam for possible
use on the exam
- or any time prior to the exam for credit -
3 multiple choice questions drawn from the material in each chapter
covered by the exam. In certain cases, topics corresponding to
lectures (but not really to chapters in the text) will be announced in
class, as well. Each question should have 5 possible answers. The
correct answer must be indicated (the easiest way is to circle the
letter, or place a symbol by it). 1 point for each group of 3
multiple
choice questions
You may work on these assignments in your study groups, but each
student is responsible, individually, for completing each
assignment.
If they are handed in jointly, all names MUST appear on the assignment,
and there MUST be a commensurate multiple of the assigned questions (
e.g. if two people work together => 6 "interesting points" or 6
multiple choice questions per chapter/topic).
