ASSIGNMENTS AND TUTORIALS

• Weekly assignments are posted on the website on Mondays.

• Late assignments will not be accepted.  Since the best 7 of 9 assignments is used in arriving at your problem set mark, if you miss one or two assignment for any reason you will not suffer a penalty.
• Tutorials will not be used for solving assignment problems, however hints may be given there for some problems.
• Discussion is often beneficial for understanding how to start solving a problem, but copying a solution (in whole or in part) from another student is plagiarism and is subject to a severe sanction.
• About three problems from an assignment will be marked. You won't know beforehand which ones.
