Requirements
Verbal: Be prepared to present your solution any class after the Item is assigned. For computerized problems, bring solution printout and disk to demo solution on the PC to the class.

At the professor's discretion, the class may be requested to submit their solutions during the first 2 minutes of class. After review by professor, students will volunteer, and one will be selected for presentation. While there is no magic formula to determine your Presentation of HW grade, some typical scenarios are:
            0% - submit no verbal HW when requested,
          50% - submit all verbal HW when requested, never volunteer,
        100% - submit all verbal HW when requested, always volunteer.
(If you wish, you may think of these as take-home quizzes.)

Written: The due date for Homework Set II is Session # 11.   Click calendar for date.  You are responsible for all of the above problems, however, only Chapter 10 and 12 Problems are to be submitted.  This homework set is to be neat and professional looking. As a result, your solutions must show all work, not just the answer. An additional cover or binding is not required nor desired, but the problem set is to be stapled (not paper clipped) together as one unit, in sequential order. If not, penalty is 10%. No photocopies. Each student is to submit their own work (If not, grade on homework is zero).  An additional 20% may be deducted for sloppiness and/or poor English.  Do not submit any of the cover pages from the micro lab printers. The penalty is 10% for each cover page submitted. (Save the trees.)
