Homework Rules and Guidelines:
Why are you are attending a University instead of
studying on your own? So that you can be part of
an interacting academic community. So, when you get
stuck, seek help from your instructor, other students,
classmates ...!
I especially recommend that you work with your fellow
students in groups. If you are stuck on a problem and seek help from
an instructor or a fellow student, you owe it to yourself to aim for
an understanding of the concepts and ideas that come up in the
discussion (do not just memorize the series of steps leading to the
solution). Then, go home and reconstruct the argument for yourself in
the privacy of your own brain, to make sure you are not merely
reproducing mindlessly something you have not thought through.
Remember that during tests and quizzes, you will have to rely on your
own understanding of the material.
Here are the rules for collaborating on homework problems:
I. You must list the names of all people with whom you discussed
each specific problem. II. You MUST write your solutions
completely independently.
Failure to comply with these rules
may result in disciplinary action.
Homework will be due on Thursday at the start of lecture, unless
othewise stated. Late homework will not be accepted. Please note that
the lowest homework grade will be dropped.
