Late homework will be accepted up until the final exam.  However, only 25% credit may be earned.  If you have a sustained, documented emergency that you discuss with me BEFORE the due date, I may choose to waive this penalty; however, this is at my sole discretion.

 

You are encouraged to discuss concepts and problems from the textbook with others.  BE WARNED: most exam problems will require similar reasoning to problems in the homework.  If you rely too heavily on someone else while completing the homework, your lack of understanding will be evident on the exams.  Ultimately, to succeed on exams, you should be able to do all homework problems without help from any source (i.e. without your textbook, friend, etc.).
