After the first week, homework assignments will be posted on Fridays, a week before they are due - you will have a weekly quiz based on the homework problems, lab work, and the concepts they test, at the start of class on Fridays. A subset of the weekly homework problems are underlined and bold-face, and you will hand in carefully written up solutions to this subset for grading, also at the start of class on Fridays.
