\nin This assignment is $\color{red}{\text{due on Friday, September 1 to Gradescope
by 6PM}}$. You are expected to write or type up your solutions neatly. Remember
that you are encouraged to discuss problems with your classmates, but you must work
and write your solutions on your own.
{\bf Important}: Make sure to clearly write your full name and your student ID
number at the top of your assignment. You may {\bf neatly} type your solutions in
LaTeX for extra credit on the assignment. Make sure that your images/scans are
clear or you will lose points/possibly be given a 0. Additionally, please be sure
to $\color{blue}{\text{match the problems from the Gradescope outline}}$ to your
uploaded images; $\color{red}{\text{no match = no points}}$.\\
\textbf{\color{red}{Answers alone, correct or not, get no points.}} \
color{black}You must explain/prove/defend your answer on your homework.\\
\\
Note: Homework answers are your explanations to the questions asked. As such, you
will be graded on your sentence structure, grammar, and spelling, as well as the
thoroughness of your explanation.\\
\\
For example, if the question is "Explain the course policy on LaTeX.",\\
$\phantom{xx}$then an answer such as "$\color{red}{\text{bonus points}}$", or "$\
color{red}{\text{+2}}$", or "$\color{red}{\text{student given extra points}}$" are
all worth zero points, even though they tend to imply the correct answer these
answers are not actual sentences.\\
\\
An appropriate answer that is worth more points might read,\\
"$\color{blue}{\text{The course policy on LaTeX states that a student will receive
a bonus of 2-points on their homework}}$\\
$\color{blue}{\text{ if he/she turns in the assignment on time and it is rendered
in LaTeX.}}$"\\

% problem 1 goes below
%==============================================================================
\item (0.2 points) Write a sentence about the calculator policy for this course.\\
\\
\if \solutions1
Ans: \\ You must have a non-graphing scientific calculator

%==============================================================================
\vspace{5mm}
\item (0.2 points) Describe the repercussions for searching the internet to find
answers for homework, quiz, and/or exam solutions instead or reading the text and
creating answers.\\
\if \solutions1
\\
\\
Ans: 
\\ Results in the failure of this course

% Problem 3 goes below
%==============================================================================
\vspace{5mm}
\item (0.2 points) This course has a 55\% exam average policy. Explain the policy
and why it is enforced in this class.\\
\\
\\
\if \solutions1
Ans: \\ This policy is something that forces students to get a cumulative exam score of 55\% or more to pass the class. This is because these larger exams imply retention of the topics that we learned rather than just putting them aside and never using them again. So through doing this, students are able to put a lot more of this information in their long term memory which will make us much more successful in the future. 
\fi

\newpage
%==============================================================================
% Problem 4 goes below
%==============================================================================
\vspace{5mm}
\item (0.2 points) This class grades students by counting how many points they
receive during the semester. Write a short description concerning how many points
are offered, how many points the grade is determined out of, and the valid reasons
a student will be allowed an extension beyond any given deadlines, or allowed a
retake on an assessment. What is the answer to a student that asks for extra time
or a re-take because there was a world-wide internet outage, their house caught on
fire, they had a family hospital emergency, a car accident, they misunderstood the
due date, and the provost of CU called them to a meeting before they could turn in
the assessment? Hint: a student never ever ever has to ask for extra time because
the answer is ALWAYS the same, regardless of circumstances. \\
\\
\\
\if \solutions1
Ans: \\There  are 1203 total points in the class, however they are only calculated out of 1000. Deadlines for assignments are never extended. Due Dates are when work is accepted for full credit(+2 if early). As for late work, it is accepted but with a penalty. If late, no bonuses will be given and if very late, you will receive minus 2 points. As for the extra time and excuses that students give out, the students do not have to worry about this because the 1203/1000 points acts as a buffer for many missed assignments. So technically the points are given.

%==============================================================================
\vspace{5mm}
\item (0.2 points) Propositions are mentioned in chapter 1, section 1 of our text.
From the list below, pick a single proposition, write it with the word 'cake'
instead of sandwich. Also, come up with your own proposition about cake and write
it as well.\\
List:\\
"Make me a sandwich."\\
"Would you like a sandwich?"\\
"McDonalds makes $x$ types of sandwiches."\\
"Sandwich is a word that starts with the letter 'R'."\\
\\
\\
\if \solutions1
Ans: \\ Cake is a word that starts with the letter 'R'. \\ Cake is the number one rated dessert in Indonesia.
