APMA 1110 | Sections 001, 002
Problem Sets
Problem sets are typically due in two batches, both on Gradescope.
- Stepwise problems are typically due on Thursday night, 11:59pm
- You must explicitly list out and annotate “steps” for your solutions. Follow the pattern:
- StepNumber, EnglishWord(s), MathEquation(s), repeat.
- The EnglishWord(s) should be a few words stating what is accomplished in the subsequent MathEquation(s).
- Regular problems are typically due on Sunday night, 11:59pm
- You must show your work, such as you would on a test.
- You do not need explicit steps and annotations for Regular problems.
Grading Rubric Explainer
- 4% out of 11% CE grade for Stepwise HW submissions
- Stepwise HW problems are graded with three scores, with numbers like this:
- “[Clarity] | [Accuracy] | [Logic]”
- Max scores are “5 | 5 | 5”.
- For example: “3 | 4 | 5” means 3/5 for Clarity, 4/5 for Accuracy, 5/5 for Logic.
- 7% out of 11% CE grade for Regular HW submissions
- Regular HW problems are graded with two scores, with numbers like this:
- “[Clarity] | [Correctness]”
- Max scores are “5 | 10”. (Comparing to Stepwise, Accuracy takes over from Logic.)
- For example, you might see: “4 | 8” in Gradescope. Thus clarity is 4/5 and accuracy is 8/10.
Unit 01 - for Test 01
| Week | Topics | Notes | Ex. | HW | PPT |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 01–08/25 | Shells | IBP | Web | PDF | N/A | Web | ||

- Your section instructor identifies these from the Problems as illustrative of the most essential concepts and techniques.
- Before the test, focus your study on mastery of these first, then move to all the other Problems.
- All problems and topics are examinable. In no way does this list indicate which specific scenarios or concepts are more likely to appear on a test! The list is not changed to reflect the tests, it is updated rarely.
Integration strategies - extra practice
- Work these before Test 01 for extra practice.
- Solutions (please work through the list in two passes before checking solutions!)
