You are expected to do your own work on all homework assignments. You may (and are encouraged to) engage in general discussions with your classmates regarding the assignments, but specific details of a solution, including the solution itself, must always be your own work. (See the statement of Academic Dishonesty on the Syllabus.)
Assignments need to be turned in via Laulima. Check the Syllabus for the late assignment policy for the course.
You should turn in a single plain text or PDF file named README.txt or README.pdf with your answers to the assignment’s questions.
