Rules and Guidelines

Everything is open book
Do not copy assignments, if proven; all those involved will be awarded a zero.
The above rule applies for exams as well.
If you have taken help from a different source other than a book such as the Internet please
state the source on the file or page of the assignment document.
I generally do not take make-ups and will discuss this in broader terms in the class.
