Homework Policy:

1. Homework sets will be assigned weekly and will be due before the beginning of class on Wednesdays. Late homework will not be accepted without permission from the instructor prior to the time it is due.

However, all material that is submitted must be the result of your own individual effort and accurately and substantively reflect your understanding of the subject matter at the time of writing.
3. Examples of allowed activities include:
   1. working on homeworks and projects as a group provided every member of the group submits material that is consistent with paragraph 2 above;
   2. obtaining help debugging computer programs provided that the computer program submitted is consistent with paragraph 2 above.
   3. consulting another person regarding any aspect of a homework assignment provided that what is ultimately submitted is consistent with paragraph 2 above.

   1. unless expressly allowed by the instructor, submitting material that is not entirely the result of your own intellectual effort;
   2. submitting material that is intentionally misleading such as plots or graphs that were not generated by an accompanying computer code listing, a computer code listing that is purported to be correct that is not or a homework problem that has the correct answer that does not result from the work preceding it;
