Textbook Exercises: Numbers in the Real World

For this assignment, you will complete exercises from the textbook and submit them for feedback from the instructor. You may submit individually or work together with a group (have only 1 person submit for the entire group). Assignments will be graded based on completion; this includes showing all work and steps, explaining answers, and answering all aspects of a question thoroughly.

You are encouraged to work with other students and tutors, to use the answer key in the back of the textbook, and to search for help online. However, submitting as ones own work part or all of any assignment that is copied, paraphrased, or purchased from another source, including online sources, without the proper acknowledgment of that source is plagiarism (LBC | Capitals Academic Integrity Policy (Links to an external site.)).

In order to avoid plagiarism, please give credit to all sources used. This can be done informally; for example, provide a link to websites you referenced or state names of other students with whom you worked. Use the answer key and online sources with integrity. By submitting your assignment, you are affirming that the work is original to you and that you tried your best to understand and work through each problem, even if receiving help from others.
