HW – General guidelines:

  • Turn in your assignment online by the due date, as noted in the course calendar.
  • Respond to each question fully, but keep your responses succinct – meaning clear and simple.
  • Ensure that your responses are professional; poor grammar/spelling, poor organization, or poor presentation will be cause for reduced grades.
  • Use the “correct” terms learned in the class and in the book, especially those terms that are italicized in the book.
  • Assignments are to be done individually except when noted.
  • Please use letter size 12 and 1.5 line spacing.
  • Add a header with your name, course, the date and the assignment type (HW).
  • Add a footer with the page number and the total number of pages.
  • Diagrams and sketches are to be student-created. You may use computer graphics (preferred when sketches are requested), embedded in the document. If necessary, hand sketches may be attached in the appropriate place in the homework.
