About Homeworks

There will be one compulsory homework assignment roughly once every 3 weeks, each assignment counts towards 8% of the final grade. A good number of the questions will require you to write a matlab program.

In each assignment, typically one question will be optional, and will be designated as a bonus question. All bonus homework questions over the entire semester together count to about 10% of the final grade. Grading of bonus questions will be rather strict. Only near-perfect answers for bonus questions will receive any points at all.

CHEATING POLICY:

While you may discuss general ideas with others, when you actually put them to paper, you should do so alone. I.e, the actual written solutions to the homework assignments (code or otherwise) should be entirely your own and individual work. Also, you are expected to indicate on your homework the names of those people with whom you discussed the homework. If you are in doubt about this policy, simply avoid any discussion at all, and work entirely on your own.

Also, do not use solutions from prior semesters unless I explicitly post them for your use. If you obtain solutions from another student from a prior semester, and use them, it will be considered cheating (and it is easy for me and the TA's to catch you).

All academic dishonesty cases will be handled through the University of Florida Honor Court procedures as documented by the office of Student Services, P202 Peabody Hall. You may contact them at 392-1261 for "Student Judicial Process: Guide for Students" pamphlet.
