GRADING:

Academic dishonesty, such as cheating or plagiarism, will be (potentially) rewarded with a failing grade for the entire course. Academic dishonesty is never a good way to learn anything, thwarts the purpose of true education, and is unjust to your fellow students. For homework, you are encouraged to discuss and problem-solve together, but you must write up your own work to turn in.
