Homework Policy
- Written homework will be posted on CANVAS approximately one week before it is to be turned in. Homework must be submitted electronically.

Consult the honor principle (below) as it applies to this course.

- Posted homework solutions will be compiled from student solutions. It will be helpful, therefore, if you use LaTex to write up your homework solutions.

The Honor Principle
|
On Homework:
|
Homework assignments are done as a team.
Each team member must fully participate in the effort, so that each student works on every problem. Students who do not fully contribute to all parts of the assignment will be downgraded accordingly.
Homework solutions are to show understanding of how to do
the problems. Teams should clearly cite sources they have consulted.
Any copying (electronic or otherwise) of another person's solutions, in
whole or in part, is a violation of the Academic Honor Code.

|
On Exams:
|
Students may not receive
assistance of any kind from any source (living, published,
electronic, etc), except for what is approved prior to the exam, and may not give assistance
to anyone. Matters of clarification are to be left to the
professor.
If you have any questions as to whether
some action would be acceptable under the Academic Honor Code,
please speak to me, and I will be glad to help clarify things. It is
always easier to ask beforehand.

Disabilities, Religious Observances,
etc.
Students with disabilities who may need disability-related
academic adjustments and services for this course are encouraged
to see their instructor privately as early in the term as
possible. Students requiring disability-related academic
adjustments and services must consult
the Student Accessibility Services office (205
Collis Student Center, 646-9900,
Student.Accessibility.Services@Dartmouth.edu). Once SAS has
authorized services, students must show the originally signed SAS
Services and Consent Form and/or a letter on SAS letterhead to
their instructor. As a first step, if you have questions about whether you
qualify to receive academic adjustments and services, you should
contact the SAS office. All inquiries and discussions will remain
confidential.
Some students may wish to take part in religious observances that
occur during this academic term. If you have a religious observance
that conflicts with your participation in the course, please meet with
your instructor before the end of the second week of the term to discuss
appropriate accommodations.
