• Let us make the homework requirements explicit:
  • points shall be deduced for
    • incorrect solutions, insufficient arguments
    • no staple
    • "style" (i.e. illegible or barely legible handwriting, unclear presentation, notes irrelevant to solutions, etc.)
  • there shall be no deduction for, but it is suggested that:
    • your homework looks as neat as possible
    • if you use notebook paper, make sure there are no remnants of perforation hanging loose

  I was assured that the probability of this happening again in the future is rather low.
