Assignments

No late work (be it quizzes, homework or exams) is accepted, unless for very good reason. By very good reason I understand either a note from the dean excusing your absence or some extraordinary circumstance about which you discuss with me beforehand.

Please keep in mind that all Rutgers summer courses are identical, in terms of syllabus and expectations, to regular Fall/Spring courses. This means that in 6 weeks you are expected to acquire the same level of knowledge as in 14 weeks in a standard semester. Hence, the course will be moving extremly fast and you will be expected to do a huge amount of work on a daily basis. My rule of thumb here is " at least 2 x the time spent in class". This would mean at least 14 hours of individual work per week.

Rutgers Policy on Academic Integrity applies for all the work you submit in this course. I will point out what this means for your homework. You are allowed, even encouraged, to talk to your classmates, or work in groups, or come to my office hours and discuss your assignments.
However, you must write up your own individual solutions, in your own words, with your own diagrams, explanations and arguments. Also, in your write-up you should acknowledge all discussions, hints or materials used.

One last thing to keep in mind: I do not grade what you think, I grade what you write. First consequence of this: your handwriting should be neat and easy to understand.
Second consequence: you have to explain all your work, in full detail. In many cases you will be asked to prove mathematical propositions. Your write-up should be detailed descriptions of your solution, with supporting diagrams and justifications as needed, employing clear and correct logical reasoning. My grading will always take into account how clearly and completely you explain your work.
