Homework assignments are given out in class (on Fridays) and are posted to the class web page. They are due in class on the following Friday, unless otherwise noted (20% deduction for each day late). You may consult with fellow students when working on your problem sets. However, do not discuss a problem with others until you have spent at least one hour working at the problem on your own. Do not copy or paraphrase any one else's work (including the solution manual). Suspected violations will be handled in accordance with the Academic Code of Honor.

A note about Extra Credit: Problem sets may contain one or more "extra credit" problems which are somewhat more difficult than the others. Extra credit points are explicitly off the curve to encourage collaborative problem solving on these problems. By doing these harder, optional problems, you can earn enough extra credit during the semester to increase your score by a full letter grade.
