Policies for all homework assignments:

• Homework is due at 5:00pm Grinnell time.
• Your solutions should be submitted as one pdf file to the corresponding homework folder within your course OneDrive folder (that I will share with you).
• Your lowest homework score will be dropped.
• Throughout the semester, you may extend the deadline of at most two homework assignments, each for two days. If you choose to extend the deadline on an assignment, you should send me an email by the scheduled due date. Beyond these two extensions, late homework will not be accepted for credit, unless there is an emergency that you bring to my attention before the due date.

If you enjoy working in groups, I strongly encourage you to work with others in the class to solve the homework problems. If you do collaborative work or receive help form somebody in the course, you must acknowledge this on the corresponding problem(s). Writing "I worked with Sam on this problem" or "Mary helped me with this problem" suffices. You may ask students outside the course for help, but you need to make sure they understand the academic honesty policies for the course and you need to cite their assistance as well. Failure to acknowledge such collaboration or assistance is a violation of academic honesty.

If you work with others, your homework must be written up independently in your own words. You cannot write a communal solution and all copy it down. You cannot read one person's solution and alter it slightly in notation/exposition. Discussing ideas and/or writing parts of computations together on whiteboards or scratch paper is perfectly fine, but you need to take those ideas and write the problem up on your own. Under no circumstances should you look at another student's completed written work.

I encourage you to look to other books or online sources for additional help in understanding concepts and ideas, but you must cite other books or online sources if they provide you with an idea that helps you solve a problem. However, you may not specifically look for solutions to homework problems, and you may not solicit help for homework problems from online forums.
