Can homework be written in pencil?

Postby Wilson Yeh 1L » Thu Jan 11, 2018 4:58 pm

I know exams and tests must be written in pen, but just double-checking--are pencils okay for homework problems?

I think it depends on your TA! I know tests have to be written in pen.

I believe so! Last quarter my TA for this class accepted it in both pen and pencil, but it would probably be best to ask and make sure

It probably varies from TA to TA, but I don't see why pencil would be a problem! Tests should be in pen, though.

I would ask your TA! Last quarter, my TA accepted homework in pencil but it would be a good idea to check, just in case. However, make sure to use pen for tests.

Yes, I think so as well because you are working out the problems and practicing but when it comes to the test, you must write everything in pen.

I would suggest doing homework in pen to practice for tests and finals, that do require pen, however, I do not think points would be taken off if you used pencil.
