Physics 210: Computational Physics: Homework Assignments

Note: All assignments are due at the end of the computer lab session on the specified date.  In addition, there may be changes to due dates as the course progresses depending on how the coverage of material in lectures goes.

To ensure that you download the most recent version of homework assignments, it is safest to first clear the disk and memory caches of your browser, or ensure that the Preferences/Advanced/Cache setting of your browser is set so that cached documents are compared to on-line versions every time.

1. Student Declaration & Responsibilty
   
2. Academic Honesty & Standards
   
3. Academic Misconduct
   
4. Disciplinary Measures
   

In addition, in the context of this specific course, all students must understand and abide by the following homework policy:

Consultation and collaboration with classmates is permitted, and in fact encouraged.

HOWEVER, ALL HOMEWORK & TERM PROJECTS SUBMITTED MUST BE YOUR OWN WORK.

To be more specific, the following occurrences (not an exhaustive list) WILL be treated as possible cases of academic misconduct. (I assume in the following that cheating is fundamentally a two-person interaction; let X and Y be two students)

1. Work where student X's work is byte-wise identical to Y's work for no good reason, and there seldom is a good reason.
2. Work where X's source code is the same or very nearly the same as Y's, with primarily comments and/or names of variables changed.

The University takes this form of academic misconduct very seriously, and so do I.

All strong evidence of cheating is therefore reported to, and dealt with through, the Head of the Department.of Physics & Astronomy.
