You will be expected to follow the Honor Code in all homeworks, quizzes and exams. All submitted homeworks are expected to be the result of your individual effort. You are free to discuss course material and approaches to homework problems with your other classmates, the teaching assistants and the professor, but you should never misrepresent someone else’s work as your own. If you use any material from external sources, you must provide proper attribution (as shown here). Exams 1 and 2 and all quizzes are pledged under the Honor Code. They test your individual understanding and knowledge of the material. Collaboration on quizzes and exams is strictly forbidden. Quizzes are open-book and exams will be are closed-book. Finally, it is also your responsibility to protect your homeworks, quizzes and exams from unauthorized access.
