MAE 325 Homework and academic integrity, Fall 1999

Assignments, solutions, prelim solutions and grade statistics are at the bottom of this page.


Please follow these homework guidelines

Sorting: To help us with sorting please clearly print the following information on the top right corner of your STAPLED homework pages (with appropriate substitutions for the text in capitals):

  YOUR-FIRST-NAME  LAST-NAME
  ta: TA-LAST-NAME, Section  DAY
  Homework  due wed MONTH/DAY/99  
  MAE 325
(If some of this information is on the HW sheet you hand in, you need not duplicate it.)

Not all homework will be graded carefully because of limited TA time.

When: Assignments will be available from this WWW page. Homework assignments are due on Wednesdays in lecture. Partial Solutions will be available on Wed on the WWW.

Style of Work: All work should be clearly presented. The work should make sense on its own, without reference to the initial problem statement. The problem, your reasoning, and the answer you give must be easy to find and follow by both an amateur and an expert.

You are encouraged to work with others on homework. You will learn more by explaining to and learning from other students. State clearly on the front of your homework, and in your homework text, what help you have received and from whom (including faculty, TAs, friends and books), no credit will be taken away from you for receiving help, but not clearly acknowledging help is a violation of the code of academic integrity (see below).

Who: For every page of computer work you turn in, you should have the computer write your name. That is, include your name in program comments, figure titles, data tables, etc. Use a highlight pen or colored underline to help your TA find your name in this output.


Academic Integrity

The standards of academic integrity are explained in various Cornell documents. A common theme is that

you must not represent work as your own which is not your own.

That is, you must acknowledge (cite) all information you use to do your work. This includes clearly identifying, faculty, TAs, students, notes, or books which you used to do your work, and the nature of the help that you received.

Really.

Students caught violating the code will be taken through the academic integrity violations procedures and penalties.

If you feel that the code of academic integrity is not being maintained please let us know how. You may tell us anonymously and you need not name or implicate anyone.
