Academic Honesty

All activities associated with this course must be performed in accordance with the AS&E Academic Honesty Policy. Please visit this website for more information.

Collaboration

You may collaborate on and discuss the written homework with your fellow students. If you choose to do so:

  • Each student must hand in a submission. Group submissions are not permitted.

  • Every student must work on every problem. You are not allowed to divide up the problems between yourselves.

  • You may choose to collaborate with different people on different problems if you like. In the first page of your submission, you should write down the names of all your collaborators and clearly indicate which problems you worked with them on. If you did not collaborate with anyone, you should clearly state this as well.

  • You are allowed to collaborate on solving problems; you are not allowed to collaborate while writing. Each student must individually write up their own submission in their own words.

  • In particular, neither copying nor showing your submissions to a fellow student is allowed and doing either will constitute a violation of the course's Academic Honesty policy.

Unauthorized Online Resources

This course follows the Department of Mathematics policy on the use of unauthorized online resources:

“Any usage whatsoever of online solution sets or paid online resources (chegg.com or similar) is considered an academic honesty violation and will be reported to the Board on Academic Honesty. In particular, any assignment found to contain content which originated from such sources is subject to a minimum penalty of zero on the assignment and a full letter grade reduction at the end of the semester (e.g. a B would be reduced to a C). This applies even if the unauthorized content was obtained through indirect means (through a friend for instance) and/or the student is seemingly unaware that the content originated from such sources. If you have any questions about whether resources are acceptable, please check with your instructor.”

Calculators, Smartphones and Other Materials

The use of calculators, phones and other computing devices is not allowed during an exam. Notes and cheatsheets are also not allowed.

The use of phones is permitted to take photographs of your answers after the exam is over. Please also see the zoom policy.
