COLLABORATION POLICY: All problem sets and exams are given under the Honor Code.
You may work with other students in the class on problem sets, but not exams. Engineering is a
collaborative discipline, and learning to work in teams is an important part of your education.
HOWEVER, you must write up the final form of your problem set entirely on your own.
