Academic Dishonesty: You are permitted, and to a great extent encouraged, to work with others on homework sets. However, there is an obvious difference between constructive discussion of a particular problem and copying. Acts of academic dishonesty will not be tolerated and will be handled according to university policy. (See http://oregonstate.edu/admin/stucon/achon.htm for details.)
