Assignments

Problem Sets

Problem sets are due at the beginning of class; late homework will be deducted 25% for every calendar day late. Science is a collaborative enterprise, and you are encouraged to discuss the class material and the problems with your classmates and the instructor. However, you are responsible for your own answers, which you should understand and write up in your own words.

Preflights

Class time is best spent when you have already read about the material, so that we can focus on the points that you found difficult and/or interesting. To encourage this reading, and to guide your thinking during the reading, "preflights" will be assigned on alternate weeks.
