Homework

• Homework is to be type written.  Graphs may be drawn by hand but should be very neat.  Students can give each other  limited help.   However,  it should be obvious to the instructor that each student has done nearly all of their own work.   Helpful hints and brief, generalized comments are acceptable.  However, sharing answers is considered cheating.  All students found cheating will receive an F on the assignment.  If you have any doubts about what is not acceptable ask me.  Ignorance or incorrect assumptions will not prevent you from receiving an F.
