Homework Collaboration
You may discuss problems with others, but you are expected to write
up your own work. In recitation we will discuss the problems on the board and provide alternate solutions . Please use
a different color pen or pencil in class to correct your own work. Then
turn it in at the end of recitation. It is most important that you try to do
the homework, actively participate in the recitation, and turn in your homework when due.
