Hi Professor Patt, I had a question about 
	the first problem set or problem 
	sets in general. I was curious if you wanted 
	to see ALL the work done to 
	figure out a problem such as the chart on problem 11.

	thank you

I want to see enough work to convince the grader that you did not 
just stumble on the answer.  Homework is for your benefit, and the 
grader will try to be helpful, although it is not clear how much 
help the grader can be with 500 students in the class.  In any case, 
the grader can not be 
helpful if you don't show any work.

I also encourage you to work in a group with others.  That is the 
best way to learn the material.  Are you working in a study group, 
or are you working alone?

Good luck.

Yale Patt
