Coincidence reactions of the type \svec{A}(\svec{e},e'N)B involving the
scattering of polarized electrons from deformed polarized targets are discussed
within the context of the plane--wave impulse approximation. A general
expression for the polarized spectral function for transitions leaving the
residual nucleus in discrete states is presented. General properties and
angular symmetries exhibited by the polarization observables are discussed in
detail. Results for unpolarized cross sections as well as for polarization
ratios (asymmetries) are obtained for typical quasi--free kinematics. The
dependences of the polarization observables on the bound neutron momentum,
target polarization orientation, nuclear deformation and value of the momentum
transfer q are discussed in detail for various different kinematical
situations.Comment: 37 pages in Plain TeX, MIT-CTP-209
