HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS

Homework problems are assigned from the 7th edition of the textbook The Cosmic Perspective - The Solar System.
Be sure you are doing the right homework problems! Other editions of the text will have different questions.

There are 6 homeworks with 6 problems worth 5 points each, plus one extra credit problem worth 2 points for each homework assignment.

All homeworks are due at the beginning of lecture on the date specified. Homeworks are late (and suffer a 5 point penalty) after lecture begins. The end of lecture is the last opportunity to turn in homeworks with a 5 point late penalty. After that, homeworks will no longer be accepted.

Remember to put your name on your homework! Be sure to type or write neatly - we can not give credit for things we can not read.
