Math 13 Partial Credit Policy:

Since we are interested in the fundamental concepts of the calculus (see the statement on course philosophy), producing a correct numeric result is not the primary measure of success. Instead, the process that leads to the answer will play an important role in all the solututions you turn in on quizzes and exams. A correct answer with an incorrect method or explanation will receive little credit, while a correct method with minor errors leading to an incorrect answer will receive more credit. Your ability to explain what you are doing will be taken into account in awarding partial credit; if I have to guess about whether you understood what you did, you will receive less credit.
