While completing homework assignments, midshipmen may use class notes, texts, and any applicable references.
Homework is intended to be an individual effort .
Students may consult classmates and other midshipmen after an earnest attempt to complete the course work. If absent from class, the assignment should be placed in either the instructor's office or his mailbox prior to close of business that day. Midshipmen may also have classmates turn in the assignments for them. It is the responsibility of the midshipmen to turn in all course work required by the instructor in order to fulfill the requirements for the course. Any navigation instrument or publication may be brought to Practical Exercises, including hand-held electronic calculators.
