How homework will be scored

Most single-part problems will be scored on a scale of 0 to 5, using the following guidelines. For proof-problems that require more steps than I feel can be accommodated by the above 5-point scale, I increase the number of points, but the criteria for earning the top two possible scores are the same as for 5-point problems.

For problems with multiple parts, the different parts may have different point-values (typically from 2 to 5) depending on the amount of work needed for a correct answer. For problems (or problem-parts) that are not purely proofs (e.g. figuring out a formula and justifying it), the exposition is not always scored as strictly as it would be otherwise. In some circumstances, extra-credit points may be earned by going beyond what the problem required.
