Writing clearly helps promote clear thinking, so we will focus some of our attention on learning to write more clearly. 

An overall guideline is to write solutions in a form that you could understand if you looked back at the assignment a year after completing the course (try this with previous work!) or in a form that is understandable to another student who is not in the course with you.

Writing for each assignment should follow guidelines for that assignment and all previous assignments. 

These guidelines are adapted from those developed by Dr. Tracy Payne. 

Abbreviations are as follows:

(M)	Mechanics
(P)	Presentation
(O)	Organization
(L)	Logic
(E)	Enhancement

Assignment 2

(M)	Use complete, clear, concise, grammatically correct English sentences.
(P)	Include carefully drawn, precise pictures to illustrate your proof.  Clearly label on the picture the information you are given or derive in the course of your proof.

 
Assignment 3

(M)	Write the result you are proving in the form of a statement.  Start each proof with "Proof :" and end each proof with a box or "qed".
(O)	Introduce names for all objects that arise in the course of the proof, especially if they were not given in the statement of the result to be proven.
