We will usually have an ordinary homework each week. It is possible that
some will be substituted for by a project, to be done in a group.
The procedures are somewhat different:
Homework Policy:
It is required that the homework submitted by each student be
his/her own thoughts. Discussion with others about how to do the
assignment is acceptable, indeed encouraged. However, the final writing up
of the assignment should represent each student's understanding of the
problem and should not be copied from another student or from anywhere else.

You are strongly encouraged not to rely on solutions that can be
found on the web, at least until you have thoroughly exhausted your
own efforts, and those of your colleagues.
And then you must reformulate the solution in your own
words and ideas.
Project Policy:
Unlike ordinary homework, where
although communication is encouraged, each individual is expected to
work through all parts him/her-self, in a project it is acceptible
for each member to have only read through and understood each part, without
actually having worked through each part individually.
The project is to be written up consistently, coherently, and neatly,
on a computer, preferably in TeX or LaTeX. Each
member is responsible for proofreading before submission.
Homeworks:
Note: I don't want my solutions to problems in other people's textbooks
to be completely
public, as that is unfair to them. So you will need to "log on" with
username physics613 and a password I will email to you, to see
solutions to problems from the text. Please do not make them openly available.
Homeworks will generally be due on Mondays at 4:00 PM, EST, in my mailbox,
or by email.
