CS 6610 - Homework

Homework Assignments

All homework must be completed individually. You may discuss the problems with others but you must turn in your own work. You may either (1) email me your PDF or PS homework file, (2) give me your homework in class, (3) give me your homework during my office hours, or (4) slip your homework under my office door. If the homework assignment includes a programming component, you must email me your code.

Do not make use of any other delivery method for your homework (e.g., carrier pigeons, my faculty mailbox).
