Unless explicitly stated otherwise, all work is expected to be your
own individual, unaided (except by ME)  effort..
When you are directed not to discuss the assignment with other students,
I consider this policy to have been violated EVEN IF YOU SIMPLY ASK
ANOTHER STUDENT IF SHE OR HE HAS STARTED (OR FINISHED) THE ASSIGNMENT.
Violations of this policy will be subject to the penalties for
academic dishonesty. YOU are responsible for protecting your work,
and you will not be held blameless should another student copy from
your unprotected directory.

Late assignments will be subject to a deduction     Days   Deduction
of n * log2(n + 1)  where n is the number of          1        1
