Written Assignments
For the written assignments, it is required that you typeset your homeworks in LaTeX. There are many free integrated LATEX editors that are convenient to use (e.g Overleaf).
Collaboration Policy
You are encouraged to collaborate with your classmates on homework problems, but each person must write up the final solutions individually. You should note on your homework specifically which problems were a collaborative effort and with whom. You may not search online for solutions.
Outside Sources
- Outside sources are a bit less clear. You should not:
- Google around for solutions to homework problems.
- Ask for help on online.
- Look up things/post on sites like Quora, StackExchange, etc.
The Bottom Line
If you are unsure about whether a source is permissible, or if you are falling behind in the course and feel a strong temptation to bend these rules, please come talk to us instead.
