10.2#13

Dear Mr. Taylor,
I just wanted to clarify how many tries we are supposed
to get when completing homework.  While working through the homework, this
problem seems to have given me a limit to the number of tries before
marking it wrong.

*******************************

OK, I changed the problem to allow unlimited number of attempts.  But before you go, let me point out that the reason 10.2#13 had limited number of attempts is because it was a lot of True-False problems, and it is not too difficult for *someone* without even understanding the problem to just go on guessing until they guess all correct answers and then walk away giving themselves a pat on the head for that.  This would be a *bad mistake* because they would have failed to understand what the problem was about, which would mean that that basic understanding would not be available, come all those difficult and scary exams that will come.  The fact that you bumped into the attempt limit means that you were trying to do the problems without understanding the material, when you should make sure that you understand the material before you try the problem, and certainly before you've tried the problem three or four times.  I suggest that you should attend my office hours or otherwise get tutoring before you get to that point.
