1. Late Work Policy

A loss of points for turning the major assignments in late is built in. But I'm also going to implement another incentive/penalty.

The total score for a late assignment will loose 20% of its original value per day past the deadline. (A 15 point paper will lose 3 points per day, and a 5 point assignment will loose 1 point per day).

4. Problem types and approaches

problem types

restatement of the information problem

approaches that fit with these particular types
