Assignment Directions
There are 20 problems on this assignment; Each problem is worth a maximum of 3 points. The
grading rubric is as follows:
3 points will be given for a correct answer AND appropriate supporting work.
2 points will be given for effort/work that leads to an incorrect answer.
1 point will be given for effort/work not leading to a final answer or an answer inconsistent with the
work shown.
0 points will be given if no work for a problem is shown, even if the correct answer is given. In
addition, if your work for a problem is not done in a neat and organized fashion, or if the instructor
simply cannot read your work, 0 points will be given.
The maximum non- scaled score on this assignment is 60 points. Your score will be scaled so that
20 points is the maximum score.
For Math 120R students, this assignment is worth 20 out of 750 points, or about 2.67% of the
overall grade. For Math 122B students, this assignment is worth roughly 3% of the overall grade.
All work must be done on this worksheet. You must BOX your final answer in order for full
credit to be given.
You may obtain assistance in completing this assignment. Feel free to use Think Tank, textbooks,
