ALL 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!!

CITATIONS:  always use a proper [acceptable in science; not MLA] format - see web page for guidance

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 is also an acceptable  – even preferred – medium for any homework assignment.  Remember to spell-check & edit this work as well.  Standards are not lowered because the medium has changed.   The subject line & file name should make sense, e.g. yourlastname-bmb-date, e.g. schmeidler-bmb-040120 (for April Fool’s Day, 2020) or kts_040120-bmb.

DO NOT QUOTE - USE YOUR OWN WORDS

ALL ASSIGNMENTS MUST BE TYPED OR PRINTED
-- or they will be returned unread --
This includes any other work assigned to be written outside class

BE SURE TO USE CORRECT CITATION FORMAT (when citing sources is necessary)

PROOFREAD AND SPELL CHECK ALL WRITTEN WORK
-- to avoid embarrassment
