So far the work you have sent does not get a grade. This is the usual policy for the first couple of assignments, until you get used to what I expect.
The basic policy will be that you submit the problems, with full documentation as requested, and make any corrections in the manner requested. Having done that you get an A for the homework.
The main thing you need to do is to focus on learning enough to pass the tests, which is where you earn the majority of your grade.
Please note that telephone messages are unreliable and that I don't check them all that often in any case. email is the way to contact me. I don't mind telephone messages, but the response is always slower that way; and remember that the battery backup on that machine has never worked, so all it takes is a brief power interruption during a storm and your message is lost forever.
