time with the exam.
Recitations
Each recitation section meets twice a week, on Tuesdays and
Thursdays. The first recitation meets Thursday, September 9. Recitation
sections are assigned by the registrar. Should a change be necessary
because of a legitimate conflict or you have not yet been assigned
a recitation, go to the recitation
request and change form. Enrollment in each section is limited.

Academic
Honesty
It is expected
that students will maintain the highest standards of academic honesty.
With respect
to homework assignments, it is expected that no student will turn
in work that is not his or her own by copying the work of another
student or by using the work or solutions from this course given in
previous years. Discussion of approaches to solving the homework problems
after attempting to work the problems independently, however, is permitted
and encouraged.
It is expected
that during a test or examination, a student will not (1) accept or
use information of any kind from other students; (2) represent the
work of another student as his or her own; (3) use aids to memory
other than those expressly permitted by the examiner. Following a
test or examination, a student will not try to deceive teachers or
graders by misrepresenting or altering his or her previous work. In
advance of a test or exam, a student will not knowingly obtain access
to the exam questions.
Departures
from the above standards are contrary to fundamental principles of
MIT and of the larger scientific community. Such departures are considered
serious offenses for which disciplinary penalties, including suspension
and expulsion, can be imposed.
