Homework Package Distributed on Friday

I was asked about distributing the homework package on Friday to provide everyone with more time to work on the homework.  I am happy to give this a try.  Please let me know if having the homework on Friday is helpful and I will continue to give it out on Friday with it being returned the following Friday.  However, please do not spend too much time on the weekend doing homework as I would love the students to have a break.

Please let me know what you think of having the homework given out on Friday.

Thanks
