10. Tests will be closed book and notes with an equation sheet provided
Tests will be closed book and notes with an equation sheet provided. Students are allowed to work together on the homework.
However, the purpose of the homework is to prepare you for the exams. Thus copying your homework from others will hurt you on the exams and not doing the homework altogether will hurt doubly.

11. the College of Engineering guidelines
Cheating during exams will not be tolerated and will be handled according to
the College of Engineering guidelines
on academic integrity.
