MAT 132

Syllabus and Homeworks

There will be weekly homeworks, typically consisting of two parts: online homework which uses WebAssign online homework system, and paper homework.

Paper homeworks are to be written on a piece of paper (with your name, section and ID number) and handed to your recitation instructor on due date. The due date is the second recitation of that week: if your recitations meet on MW, it woudl be Wed recitation; if they meet on TuTh, it would be Th. You must write not only the answers but also your reasoning and explanation, which must be written clearly enough so that the grader should be able to follow your reasoning. Answers without explanation will get only partial credit.

WebAssign homework system is described in detail here .
