Homework policy
-
To get a certificate for the tutorial you need to obtain an average grade of
60% on the homework assignments in both halves of the semester.
-
The homework assignments are to be handed in in groups of two people.
-
Homework assignments are due weekly.
They may be turned in at the beginning of the tutorial
or left in the letter box of Jan Techter (MA 873, Kati Gabler) before that time.
-
Justify each step of your computations.
Results without any explanation are not accepted.
Please write in a readable way.
Unreadable handwriting will not be corrected.
You may write your answers in English or German.
