Honor Code:


Students are encouraged to work together during the thinking process of homework problems. What is important is a student's eventual understanding of homework problems, and not how that is achieved.

The honor principle on written homework: What a student turns in as a homework solution is to be his or her own understanding of how to do the problem. Students must state what sources they have consulted, with whom they have collaborated, and from whom they have received help. Students are discouraged from using solutions to problems that may be posted on the web for previous offerings of the course, and as just stated, must reference them if they use them. The solutions you submit must be written by you alone. Any copying (electronic or otherwise) of another person's solutions, in whole or in part, is a violation of the Honor Code. For instance, it is a breach of the honor code to read the solutions of someone else in order to write your solution.

The honor principle on exams: Students may not give or receive assistance of any kind on an exam from any person except for the professor or someone explicitly designated by the professor to answer questions about the exam. Students may not use library or internet sources on take-home exam problems, but they may use their textbook and personal notes.

If you have any questions as to whether some action would be acceptable under the Academic Honor Code, please speak to me or another member of the course staff, and we will be glad to help clarify things. It is always easier to ask beforehand than to have trouble later!
