General Homework Instructions

All homework assignments must follow these general instructions.

• Homework is submitted to Canvas, in the form of a PDF file.
• For any homework assignment, two students may turn in the assignment for joint credit. In this case, both students will normally receive the same grade. You are free to work with a partner on some assignments or on no assignments. You are free to use different partners for different assignments. Groups of more than two people working together on an assignment are strictly forbidden and will be treated as an honor code violation. You may not switch partners in the middle of an assignment. In other words, you may not discuss solutions for any one assignment with more than one person in the class.
• We use the Canvas "groups" mechanism to allow two people to work together on an assignment. We are still learning how this works, but I think that you will "join" a group, along with your partner, by picking one of the open groups from the list.
• All joint submissions must contain a statement that clearly indicates, for each problem, the contribution of each student to the problem. Some possible contributions for a problem might include one or more of the following: Cracked the problem, wrote up the solution, found flaws/improved earlier versions of the solution, verified that the solution is correct and understandable.
• The answer to each problem should be clear and complete, but without extraneous material.
