I expect you to do all of your own work. You may discuss assignments freely with your classmates, including approaches, difficulties, etc., but in the end you must understand and complete the assignments in their entirety yourself. The only exception is when and if I explicitly assign work to be completed in groups. The assignments are chosen to teach specific concepts, and those concepts will appear on tests. Keeping up with assignments is vital to achieving thorough of understanding.
Homework is due at the beginning of class on the specified date.
One point will be subtracted for each class period or fraction that the assignment is late, to a maximum of 3 points off. Note that the homework assignments are worth nearly as much as the final exam. See the last page for the date and time. My office location and hours are at the beginning of this syllabus, and I can be available at other times as well. The teaching assistants will be announcing their office hours shortly after the semester begins.
