Homework

There are two types of homework assignments in this course: pen-and-paper/free-response homework (which will be accessed from and submitted to Gradescope) and online homework (which will be done using WebAssign).

Gradescope Homework

Homework assignments will be accessed from Gradescope and will be submitted directly to Gradescope by the students.

Gradescope Login:   https://www.gradescope.com/

The name of our Gradescope course is "MATH10A_S220_A00_B00". All students enrolled in the course were added to this Gradescope course before the start of classes. (Any students that were added to the course after the start of classes will need to request to be added to Gradescope. Contact your TA or instructor.)

You will submit your own homework assignments in this course. Gradescope has provided a helpful guide to scanning and submitting your assignment as a PDF.

Guidelines for submission through Gradescope:

  • Submissions must be PDF files.
  • If your homework is handwritten, you must upload a scanned document.
  • You may type your homework (using LaTeX, for example) and save your file as a PDF.
  • You may write your solutions using a tablet device.
  • All homework is due at 11:00 P.M.
  • Gradescope will ask you to match each of the exercises with the page on which your solution for that exercise appears.
  • For more information, download the Gradescope how-to PDF.

Due Dates:   Due dates are available in Gradescope.

Academic Integrity:   All homework that you turn in should be your own work. Passing off the work of another as your own is a serious academic integrity violation. You are allowed to consult with other students in the class (provided you acknowledge their assistance in your homework submission), but the work you turn in should be written by you, in your own words. Copying homework from another student or from any other sources (including online sources) is not allowed.

Online Homework

Online homework will be done using WebAssign. You do not need a "Class Key" to access WebAssign.

Access Codes:  To get an access code for WebAssign, you can either (1) purchase the textbook from the UCSD Bookstore, which comes bundled with a multi-term WebAssign access code, or (2) purchase ELECTRONIC ONLY access from the WebAssign website. If you already have a multi-term access code (because you took Math 10A last quarter, for example) then you may use the same code. If it does not work automatically, you may need to contact Customer Support.

The first time you log in to WebAssign, you may be asked to create a password. You may also be asked to create a Cengage account, or to link your WebAssign account to a preexisting Cengage account, if you already have one. (Cengage is the company that owns WebAssign.) For more information, consult the WebAssign help files.

Homework Score:  We will study 24 sections from the book, and each one has its own assignment in WebAssign that is worth 10 points. This means there are 240 points possible in total. However, the maximum homework score is 200 points. This means that you don't have to do all of the problems in order to get 100%. Any score 200 or better will earn a score of 100%. (It is not possible to earn a score higher than 100%.)

Assignment 1:  1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.5, 1.6, 2.1
Assignment 2:  2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6
Assignment 3:  2.7, 2.8, 3.1, 3.2
Assignment 4:  3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7
Assignment 5:  4.2, 4.3, 4.5, 4.6

Late Submissions:  It is possible to request an automatic extension of the due date, but only for 1 day. Late submissions earn a maximum of 50% of their total score. (This penalty applies only to exercises submitted after the due date and not to those already submitted before the due date.)

It is not possible to request an extension for Assignment 5.

Additional Textbook Problems (for Practice)

These assignments will not be turned in and will be not graded; however, certain quiz/exam questions are based on textbook homework problems, so understanding the solutions to these problems should help you perform better on the quizzes/exams. This page is subject to revision during the term. Please check regularly for updates. (Last updated 02 Aug 2020)
