Rewrites can be handed in any time. Early homework is always accepted. You can leave homework in the collection bag on my office door at any hour.
(Added Oct. 17.) Papers for the same assignment must be stapled (bending a corner is not secure); if not, I will not grade the papers. Every different assignment must be written on separate papers; if not, I will only grade one assignment. (I have said this in class many times.)
Code: § means "section". ¶ means "paragraph".
