I just realized that I keep forgetting to say anything about this in class. I’ll still try to do so. However: you may want to work together with other students in the class on the homework assignments. Great! I definitely encourage that. Not only does it make the experience slightly more fun, but it also can really help to talk things through with other people.

The only ground rules are these: (1) Even if you talk through the assignment with others, you each need to write it up yourselves, separately. (2) Indicate at the top of the homework assignment who you were working with.

Several of you have been doing this already, and that’s good. But it’s an option that’s open to everyone, and I’d recommend it.
