Academic Calendar

Honor code:

The honor code will be strictly enforced on all assignments.   Acceptable collaboration on homework is limited to discussion among peers after which each individual must complete his or her assignment on his or her own.  I.e., when you are writing up your solutions, you should not be looking at any notes developed in discussion of the problems with another student.  Suspiciously similar assignments will be considered in violation of the honor code and treated accordingly.
