There will be daily homework assignments.
You are encouraged to work with other students in the class on the homework, and it is appropriate to acknowledge the assistance of others. While it may be tempting to consult people or resources outside of the class, it will be best for your learning process to refrain from doing so. All solutions you submit must be your own.
Homework problems will be presented each day in class. They will then be typed up and compiled into a class portfolio.
