=== Grading ===
=== Policies:===
 
'''Lecture notes:'''
 
A skeleton �file for the lecture notes will be posted at least an hour before each lecture (typically the night before) and it will mainly include �figures and some text. It is recommended that students come to class with the lecture notes skeleton and use it to �fill in the material covered in class. Complete lecture notes will NOT be posted.
 
'''Collaboration Policy'''
Homeworks are to be done and handed in individually. To improve the learning process, students are encouraged to discuss the problems with, provide guidance to and get help from other students, the TAs and instructors. However, to make sure each student understands the concepts, solutions must be written independently and should reflect your understanding of the subject matter at the time of writing. Copying solutions, using solutions from previous years, having someone else type or dictate any part of the solution manual or using publicly available solutions (from the Internet) are not allowed.




=== Collaboration Policy ===
Collaboration on homework assignments is encouraged. You may consult outside reference materials, other students, the TA, or the instructors.  Use of solutions from previous years in the course or from other external sources is not allowed.  All solutions that are handed should reflect your understanding of the subject matter at the time of writing.
