Ethics: Students are expected to adhere to the Duke community standard. You must reaffirm your committment to these standards on all work. Homework rules: I encourage you to work in groups in understanding the material and solving the problem sets. However, the following rules apply: . The best way to learn the material is to try to solve each question alone. Before you ask for help, read carefully the notes and the material in the textbook, and then try to read the problem. If you still do not understand what the question requires from you, ask for help in interpreting it. Then try to solve it again. . Write up each problem independently; the answer should be written in your own words. . Write on your problem set whom you consulted and what sources you used. If you fail to do so, you may be charged with plagiarism and be subject to serious penalties. . A multiple page homework assignment must be stapled, written legibly and must contain the reaffirmation of the Duke community standard. Otherwise, it will be returned ungraded. If your solution of a problem requires more than a single expression or equation, it must be phrased in complete sentences. The logic of an argument must be completely clear. . No late homework. Policy regarding submitted missed work: Unexcused late homework will not be graded and unexcused missed exams may not be made up. For the following situations, Dean's excuse, an incapacitating short-term illness, or an officially recognized religious holiday, please see the indicated web-page for the procedures that must be followed.
