Homework, Quizzes, and Workshops

There will be weekly homework, selected from the problems posted on the main Math 151 page here. The specific assignment will be posted on the schedule page. The homework will be due in the recitation session on Friday.
There will also be occasional quizzes, mostly in the Friday recitation session.
At the end of every workshop session you will be assigned a question to write up carefully. One of the goals of this exercise is to learn to communicate mathematics, so half of the grade for each workshop will be based on your exposition. The workshop problem will be due at the start of the following workshop.
You are encouraged to work together on the exercises. Any written assignment, though, should represent your own work. No late homework or workshops will be accepted under any circumstance. We will, however, drop the lowest homework and workshop scores when computing your grade.
