I will grant a 5 minute grace period. If you arrive after the grace period you will receive a grade of zero. If you must miss class, you may submit your homework early. Any deadline extensions must be approved in advance, and must be for reasons which are unexpected and beyond your control, and which involve only a short extension. Homeworks are to be individual assignments unless instructed otherwise.
Limited collaboration is permitted on homework.
This means that you may discuss the means and methods for solving problems, but you are not free to copy someone's assignment. Collaboration on quizzes or exams, using another student's work as your own, allowing another student to use your work as their own, is academic misconduct and is not tolerated. Academic misconduct also includes copying material found in another source, for example an article in a journal or found on the web, without proper citations and quotation marks. You are responsible for any announcements or handouts made in class. If you miss an exam you receive a score of zero.
