Policy. Complete all reading assignments before coming to class.  Written
homework assignments are due at the beginning of class on the due date.
You are responsible for announcements made in class, even if you are
absent.  

Please read the academic honesty policy on the back.  The homework in
this course counts for 40% of the grade, and some comments about
collaboration are in order.  It is expected, permitted, and encouraged
for students to form study groups, discuss course material, and help each
other to master the course material.  It is also permitted to discuss
homework problems.  However, always follow these rules: (1) each person writes
up his own homework solutions; (2) when you turn in written homework,
you are implying that you wrote the solution by yourself, that you 
understand what you present as your own work, and that you can explain it
if asked to do so; (3) do not loan or show your written work to anyone else;
(4) do not ask to see another student's written homework.
