Late homeworks:

If you have a problem turning your homework in on time, please let us know before the posted due date of the assignment. 20% will be deducted from homeworks up to a week late. Homeworks will not be accepted after a week.

Collaboration/Cheating Policy:

Students in this course are encouraged to work together. However, there are a few groundrules everyone must follow. Failure to understand and follow these rules will constitute cheating, and will be dealt with as per university guidelines.

• The Gilligan's Island Rule: This rule says that you are free to meet with fellow students(s) and discuss the assignment with them. Writing on a board or shared piece of paper is acceptable during the meeting; however, you should not take any written (electronic or otherwise) record away from the meeting. After the meeting, engage in a half hour of mind-numbing activity (like watching an episode of Gilligan's Island), before starting to work on the assignment. This will assure that you are able to reconstruct what you learned from the meeting, by yourself, using your own brain.
• The Freedom of Information Rule: To assure that all collaboration is on the level, you must always write the name(s) of your collaborators on your assignment.

Remote Access
