Homework:
 

There will be two homework projects.  Each homework project is 25 points. The policy of the honors code as applied to these homework projects will be announced when the projects are given out.

Regular Homework: Each week exercises will be assigned that are intended to give you facility with the concepts being developed in class. Regular Homework will consist of two parts. One part will be done on-line on the World Wide Web using WeBWorK, a computer program that tells you if an answer you enter is correct, or not. There will be WeBWorK assignments for each class. These assignments will usually be due two classes after they are assigned. You should check the exact due dates after logging in to WeBWorK. The other part of the homework will consist of more challenging problems to be done in the written form. These assignments usually also will be due two classes after they are assigned. They will be graded for completeness and if time permits for correctness.

Late Homework Projects and regular homework exercises will not be accepted (except for emergency cases). Unexcused late and missing homework counts zero.

Honor policy:
 

On Exams: No help given or received

On Homework: Collaboration is permitted and encouraged, but NO COPYING .

On Projects:  Each project will have collaboration/honor principle information listed on the front of the project.  Students are responsible for reading and following the guidelines for each project.   Note that the guidelines may change from project to project.
