Home Exercises:

• The exercises are submitted electronicly. you must submit one pdf file
• You can either scan your work or type it in the computer. The file must be in a readable form. A file that is not readable will not be counted as submitted
• Make sure you are submitting the right file. if you are submitting a bad file you will be held responsible for the consequences
• having trouble with submitting?
  
  • You can scan pages to pdf in the library (5 agorot per sheet)
  • Converting any file type to pdf can be done online in this site
  • Also merge multiple pdf into file (same site)
  • Pdf creator - after installing, a pdf printer wil be added to your printer list

Course Policy:

• Electronic submission of  70%  of the home assignments is obligatory. For each missing assignment below 70% one point will be reduced from the final grade. For each extra assignment beyond 85% one point will be added to the final grade.
• ie. full assignment submission will add 2 points to the final grade. No submission of assignments will reduce 8 point from your final grade.
• The final grade of the course will be calculated as following: Final exam grade + homework grade (can be negative!)
• Home assignments will be checked randomly.
• HW submission will not be accepted beyond deadline. For special cases,such as army reserve service, hospitalization etc. please contact your teaching assistant as soon as possible.
• Students are responsible to check their submissions regularly.
