Important! Homework Policy: Feel free to consult books or any other source of information to help with your homework assignment, including talking with each other. But the version you hand in should have been written by yourself on a clean sheet of paper, and not copied from someone else. It is also important that it be clear and easily readable—the grader does not have time to decipher untidy writing or unclear arguments! An important part of the homework task is clear presentation.
