Note 1) Homework must be ready for peer grading and discussion in class on the first listed due date. It must be turned in for a final grade on the second listed due date. Peer grading will be 1/5 (20%) of the homework grade.

Note 2) If the "returned" date is a link, then the solutions are posted on the
coures@dordt system.

Note 3) Problems sets shown above with no "assigned" date are tentative. More problems might be added, expected due dates might change, but problems shown will eventually be assigned.
