Policy on Cooperation, Outside Help, and Grades
Homework: You are strongly encouraged to work with other students to discuss the assignments.
You can also ask any questions of your recitation instructor or tutor. However, we insist that
you write up your solutions by yourself.
Mastering Physics: You must complete the computer assignments on your own, without any
direct assistance. You are allowed to ask for hints or suggestions off-line if you get stuck on a
particular problem but you are not allowed to have anyone else working with you at the
computer.
Exams: No outside notes, books, or assistance of any kind is allowed during exams.
