Homework regulations

Homeworks are to be turned by the start of class on the due date. No late homeworks will be accepted, but the lowest homework grade will be dropped. (In other words, turn in what you have by the start of class. If your schedule is too busy, just drop the homework. But, try your best to save the dropped homework for the latter half of the semester, when you will really need it.) In exceptional circumstances (illness, university business, religious observances) extensions may be granted. However, all extensions must be approved by me BEFORE the due date.
As a courtesy to the grader, homeworks should be written neatly. Poorly written work will not be graded. When writing algorithms be sure not only that your solution is correct, but also that it is easy for the grader to understand why your solution is correct. Part of your grade will be based not only on correctness, but also on the clarity, simplicity, and elegance of your solution.
