Course policies
Unless otherwise noted, homework is due on the due date by 3pm (beginning of the lecture).
Late turn-in of homework is not accepted unless approved by the instructor ahead of time.
Discussion of the homework with your classmates is encouraged, but submitted solutions should
represent your individual eorts (copying someone elses solutions or solutions from a book
does NOT qualify).
You are strongly encouraged to ask questions during the lectures and outside, and to provide
the instructor with feedback on the pace or level of the course.
