Academic Misconduct:

Teamwork on homework is encouraged for learning purposes. However, all assignments

turned in by the student must show the student’s own work. Any evidence that a student

has access to and/or is copying homework answers from the instructor’s Manual for the text

for this course will result in that student receiving zero for all homework for this course. All

examination answers must be strictly one’s own work. Department policy is that any

student suspected of cheating or aiding other students to cheat will receive a zero for that

assignment.
