One thing that I haven’t been perhaps clear enough on so far is what these numbers on the homework actually mean. The scores on the homework will generally be out of 35. The homework score constitutes 40% of the final grade. That’s a lot. It’s important to do the homework, more is riding on that …

The keys for homework #1 and #2 are now linked to the schedule page. To download them, you’ll need the password that was given out in class. Ask me in class or email me if you have forgotten this password.
Looking at homework #4, I realize that we didn’t get to the material that is relevant for doing sentence (2) in section 1. We will talk about that on Tuesday, and it’s discussed in the book and on the handout. You might want to wait on that one until Tuesday. The rest of it should …

I’ve got the Blackboard site running now, there should be a link to it on the right side of your screen. I have put in the scores I have recorded for homework 1, and I will continue to keep the scores there. That’s about all that’s going on at the Blackboard site at the moment. …
For those of you who emailed me homework #1, the graded ones should now have been mailed back to you. If you got it to me late, I might still have it, but otherwise I think everybody should have them back now. I will try to be sure they get out in a more timely …
On homework #2, you are asked to draw a couple of trees. Draw them as per the instructions: no node labels, and only nodes that you have evidence for (and triangles over strings of words with no brackets). Don’t use anything like VP, V’, etc. This isn’t a test to see if you remember what …
For those who will soon be getting their electronically submitted homework back, or for those who picked up their written homework either in LX500 or in my office, the score on the homework is out of 35. I will be putting up a key shortly, so you can see a little bit more explanation of …
