Students and professors expect honesty and integrity from each other; when students cheat, other students suffer.  The professor and the institution are responsible for sanctioning dishonest behavior and the Student Conduct Code describes the procedures for considering accusations of academic dishonesty.The professor's expectations in this course are: 

• You may not consult anyone during exams. 
• For homework, you may consult anyone and I encourage you to do so, but your written work must reflect your own understanding. 

Questions about these expectations can be asked in confidence.

A little advice. Every semester I see a strong correlation between students who don't do the homework consistently and  those who perform at or near the bottom of the class. Homework is due weekly rather than daily but that doesn't mean you should wait to start working on it. Do a little everyday. When you get frustrated stop...find me...ask questions. Cramming homework into the last day before it is due is not an effective way to learn. You also have so little reflection time on difficult material if you wait until the last minute, that you really won't have the depth of understanding required on tests. In addition, class time is usually a waste for you because it is nearly impossible to process new information when you haven't worked with the old.

Finally, simply doing the homework doesn't necessarily mean you've really learned the material. You should be reflecting on what you're doing and why you're doing it. What is the process? How did we develop the process? Does the process make sense in this context, or other contexts? How is this process or concept related to the other ideas in the course? Thinking and doing is more effective than just doing.
