Each student is expected to complete his or her own work and turn it
in by the due date. Students may talk to one another about general approaches
to various exercises, and receive general assistance from the instructor,
TA, tutors, and lab assistants. However, the details of the assignment
are to be completed independently, thereby reflecting the individual accomplishments
of the student.
