HOMEWORK

You may do homework any night of the week and turn it in at any time before the given deadlines (5 by interims, another 5 by end of quarter).  I will not assign specific assignments each night but will remind you to keep up with homework. You will decide when to do homework and which assignments you will do.  You will receive credit for assignments that:

          1.  are complete
