There will be a number of homework assignments consisting of
one or more questions or problems related to the current topic.
One of the skills I want you to develop is the ability to communicate
what you know to others.
Therefore, you must provide context for each problem,
show all calculations, and explain your work/answers.
Numbers and/or algebra by themselves are not enough.
You will lose a significant amount of credit if you do not show enough work/context for your answers.
All work that you turn in must be your own. You are encouraged to discuss
homework questions together, but your solutions must be your own work.
Discussing ways to approach solving problems is always acceptable;
discussing the answers to questions often leads to students turning
in work that is not truly their own and must be avoided.
Please see my policies page for how I deal with academic dishonesty.
