APH 161

Homeworks are due at the beginning of class one week after they are posted.  Solutions will be posted two days after the homeworks are submitted, and homeworks will be returned a week after they are submitted.

Late policy: NO late homeworks will be accepted (late means anytime after class starts the day the homework is due) unless you have a mindblowingly good excuse - this means a note from someone like a doctor or a Dean.  Rob does not grant extensions.

Collaboration policy: you may discuss the homework with others, but your explanations and derivations must be your own.  Your logic and the significance of your results should also be explained.
