Honesty Policy: the Computer Science Department Academic Honesty Policy  will
	        be in effect; see the link on the course web page.

	   All the work you turn in must be your own.  In particular, all 
	homework sets and programming projects should be completed on an
	individual basis.
           This is not meant to exclude the practice of group study by 
	students in the course.  However each student must compose his/her 
	own answers to homework problems, and code/debug/comment/test/time 
	his/her own programming projects.  Each student should understand 
	his/her own answers or code, and under no circumstances copy those 
	answers or code from some other person or source.

 	   Students are encouraged to consult with the instructor whenever
 	help is needed.  In addition to the instructor's scheduled office 
	hours, students can make appointments for other times.
 	   E-mail is often a convenient way to ask short questions or to make 
	an appointment.
