\underline{Honor Code} Work on all tests and quizzes should, of course, be strictly
your own.  Students may ask
others for help with their homework, and also work together when they
choose to do so. However, it is unwise to do the homework exclusively
in a group; there is no substitute for the insight that comes from
individual concentration. In any case, your homework should be written up entirely by you
so as to reflect your final understanding of the problem.

\noindent \underline{Homework}  Homework will be assigned regulalrly and will generally be
due for collection one week from the class period in which it was assigned. Use complete
english sentences in all written work.  Special care should be taken to use the appropriate
logical connectives, in order to make arguments coherent.     Homework which is written in an
illegible script, or in a disorganized manner, will not be accepted.
