Homework Guidelines

  • Written homework should be turned in to the homework boxes outside of Kemeny 008 by 3:30 pm each Friday.
  • Make sure that you show all your work and explain all the steps. A correct answer with no work shown will receive minimal credit. This is good practice for what will be expected on exams.
  • Honor Policy:
    • Cooperation on homework is permitted and encouraged, but if you work together, do not take any paper away with you. In particular, you must write the solution up on your own.
    • In other words, you can share your thoughts (say on a blackboard), but you have to walk away with only your understanding.
    • Please acknowledge any collaborators at the beginning of each assignment.
