Policies
- There will be a weekly one-page assignment, 10 assignments in total.
- You may skip any one problem, or we will ignore the problem with the lowest grade. If you volunteered to scribe twice, we will ignore the lowest two grades.
- The answers must be typeset in LaTeX. The answers must fit in one page, or your solution will not be read. Use at least 10 pt font and 1 inch margins. This rule is meant to prepare you for writing research publications: one often has to explain great ideas in a very limited number of pages.
- Submissions must be made online and consist of a compiled PDF document.
- Grades and comments will be posted online.
- Solutions do not need to include all calculations, trivial details etc. Just prove to us that you found the solution, and you understand it well.
- Problems will be graded on a 0-2 scale:
- 0 = You didn’t get it. Filling one page to the brim does not mean you can’t get zero. Please don’t write stuff you know is wrong.
- 1 = Your solution was ultimately a good one, but the write-up contained significant errors or omissions.
- 2 = (We think) you got it.
