You are asked to use HW answer form for every submitted HW. You should fill-in the form as required and staple it as a cover sheet for every HW. In addition, you may be asked to self "pre-grade" your submitted HW on the HW Answer Form, as follows (if not instructed otherwise): List and pre-grade all assigned items even if not all worked out. For Examples (or Problems with given solutions), enter 5 pts for each completed Example, 1 pt for attempted, and 0 for not worked out. For Problem, enter 10 pts for each completed, 3 for attempted work, and 0 for not worked out. TA or Instructor will review your self pre-grading and finalize it.
