Paper-based homework must be neat and legible on 8.5 x 11 paper. For project type assignments, typed report is required with appropriate explanations and visualizations of your analyses. You may use Excel or computer program language, as necessary. Your spreadsheet or program code (if too long, just a few first pages) should be attached to your report. Late homework will still be accepted with following penalty rate:
(score reduction rate) = 0.75 n where n = days since the due date. Once the solutions are posted, homework will no longer be accepted. The homework and exam solutions will be distributed by the class web site. It is strongly recommended that you obtain all solutions and study them afterward since the final exam will cover material from the entire semester. Academic Honesty The University of Wyoming is built upon a strong foundation of integrity, respect and trust. All members of the University community have a responsibility to be honest and the right to expect honesty from others. Any form of academic dishonesty is unacceptable to our community and will not be tolerated [excerpted from the UW General Bulletin]. All persons should report suspected violations of standards of academic honesty to the instructor, department head, or dean. You can read this and other University regulations at: http://uwadmnweb.uwyo.edu/legal/universityregulations.htm Disability Statement If you have a physical, learning, or psychological disability and require accommodations, please let the instructor know as soon as possible. You must register with, and provide documentation of your disability, to University Disability Support Services (UDSS) in SEO, room 330 Knight Hall.
