2. Homework assignments are collected
promptly at the beginning of the class period on their respective
due dates. Given this much advance notice, if your homework is turned in
late for any reason (absences included), a late penalty of 5 points is
assessed. If you are absent from class often, you are therefore advised
to try to turn in homework early. Any homework over 1 week past due
will receive a score of zero.
3. Early-Bird Bonus! *If
you hand in a completed homework assignment at least one day before
it is due, you may earn up to 5 extra points (up to 50 total bonus points
towards your final class grade). Your homework must be turned in at
least one day early to earn the extra credit. You may do any of
the following: 1) hand in the assignment during the preceding class
date, 2) drop it off at least one day early at the Faculty Support
Office, Room B206; they must date stamp your homework, or 3) fax
your homework assignment at least one day before the due date to
the Faculty Support Office at (847) 635-1496 - be sure to address
it to "W. Tong, Room B206 - Faculty Support." (Faxed assignments
must be legible, or they won't be graded.)
2. Use pencil, not pen or magic marker, to fill in the crossword puzzles. Avoid scratch-outs/liquid paper.
3. Don't use wild guesses or "creative" (that is, incorrect) spelling to try to fit in a word.
4. Your instructor will attempt to grade and return your homework as promptly as possible. However, it is a good idea to photocopy your crosswords before handing them in while studying for your exams.
