You are asked to confirm your group members by the end of your first recitation. There will be approximately 12 homework assignments during the semester. The attendance of the power plant tour in early November will be counted as the 13th homework assignment. Homework assignments will be announced on the course Blackboard site, normally every Monday. Homework will be due by 10 PM the following Monday. Homework assignments are done and handed in groups. Please write down the names, NetID, and your section number on your homework paper, signed ONLY by active participants (one group, one submission; no signature, no grade). Submit the signed copy to the course HW box located in the small hallway leading to room Upson 123 (next to the Upson lounge). Solutions will be posted on the course web site one day after the HW due date. HW will be returned approximately one week later after during recitations (or contact your TA if you need it back earlier). If you miss two or more sets of homework, your homework grade will be zero for the semester. Each group is expected to abide by the Cornell University Code of Academic Integrity (http://cuinfo.cornell.edu/Academic/AIC.html). You may not use problem solutions from previous years or other sources. The grading policy is subject to change if widespread plagiarism is discovered. NO late homework is accepted. The lowest one homework grade will be dropped from your average IF you submit your mid-term course evaluation (if there is one) and the course evaluation at the end of the course. During recitations, TAs will guide you through at least one homework problem. For each prelim and

the final, there will at least one problem closely adapted from the homework assignments. Prelims and Final Exam Each prelim contains 4-5 calculation problems, total worth 100 points. The final contains 4-5 short answer questions, followed by ~4 calculation problems. All exams are in a closed-book format. But you can bring two pages of 8'x11' HAND-WRITTEN notes with you (you can write on both sides) for Prelim I, three pages for Prelim II, and four pages for the final. You can bring a calculator, whose capability should not be more than a TI-89. You CANNOT use a smart phone as your calculator. You will be provided with properties tables and unit conversion factors sheet if needed.
