Unless a student has a documented excused absence, late homework will not be accepted. There are many resources available to assist you with doing your homework (e.g., office hours, Discord discussion group, free tutoring at numerous places across campus). You are allowed and encouraged to work together on homework. However, each student is expected to turn in their own work. You are strongly encouraged to ask questions in our Discord discussion group, as I (and hopefully other members of the class) will post comments there for all to benefit from. You are also encouraged to stop by during my office hours and you can always email me. Lastly, free tutoring is available through the Math Achievement Program.
Most of the Daily Homework assignments are to be completed via WeBWorK, which is an online homework system. You should log in with your NAU credentials. Occasionally, an assignment will be submitted via BbLearn.
For each of the Weekly Homework assignments, answer each of the indicated questions. To receive full credit on a problem, you must show sufficient work for each of your answers (unless stated otherwise). How you reach your answer is more important than the answer itself. I expect your solutions to be well-written, neat, and organized. Do not turn in rough drafts. What you turn in should be the polished version of potentially several drafts. You should submit your work to the corresponding assignment on BbLearn. Most students will likely use pencil and paper to complete their assignment. In this case, you should scan your work as single PDF document. There are many free applications available for doing this on your smartphone. I use TurboScan on my iPhone.

Flagstaff and NAU sit at the base of the San Francisco Peaks, on homelands sacred to Native Americans throughout the region. The Peaks, which includes Humphreys Peak (12,633 feet), the highest point in Arizona, have religious significance to several Native American tribes. In particular, the Peaks form the Diné (Navajo) sacred mountain of the west, called Dook'o'oosłííd, which means "the summit that never melts". The Hopi name for the Peaks is Nuva'tukya'ovi, which translates to "place-of-snow-on-the-very-top". The land in the area surrounding Flagstaff is the ancestral homeland of the Hopi, Ndee/Nnēē (Western Apache), Yavapai, A:shiwi (Zuni Pueblo), and Diné (Navajo). We honor their past, present, and future generations, who have lived here for millennia and will forever call this place home.
