Ay 124 Course Policies

Homework Policy

Because solving problems is the best way to understand the material, you should attempt to solve problems first on your own. You may consult books and published papers, but not old homework solutions from this class. After that, discussion of the problems with other students in this class to improve your understanding of the underlying physics is permitted and encouraged, but not solutions to the problems themselves.

In addition, because looking at your solutions is one way for us to know how well you've learned the material, you should work out your own solutions without using or referring to the solutions of others.

Thus on problem sets, the formal policy for this class is that the students can freely discuss the problems, but need to work out solutions on their own and not refer to others' solutions.

Homework will be posted on Friday of each week, and is due at 5:00 PM on Friday of the following week. Please hand the homework in to the TA either in person or in his mailbox (MC 249-17). Please return your homeworks on time.

Grading Policy

Grading policy is still TBD, but will likely encompass the homeworks, a midterm literature project, and a final exam.
