CSE 141: Homework

Homework Requirements

Homework assignments are due in class on the given due dates. Homework must be typed (except where otherwise indicated), printed out on "US letter" sized paper, stapled, and physically handed in. Homework handed in after the end of class will be considered late. We may elect not to grade a late homework, or it may be graded at a significant penalty.

Homework assignments serve in large part to prepare you for the exams; those who cheat on homework will tend to do badly on the tests. Don't do that.

Homework assignments are individual efforts. Casual discussion of homework problems is allowed; looking at others' solutions, or taking notes from such discussions, is not. Using solutions from any source other than yourself is considered cheating.
