In all take-home exercises of this subject (homework, device characterization projects, design project) you may collaborate with another student in this class. In fact, collaboration is encouraged. However, these are not group projects to be divided among several participants. Every individual must carry out every exercise in its entirety. Every one of the items of each exercise contains a substantial educational experience. If you collaborate with another student in any exercise, please prominently show in your solutions the name of your collaborator. Violations of this policy will be handled by MIT's Committee on Discipline. If you have questions regarding this policy, please ask the instructor.

Homework is due at lecture on the designated date. Late homework is acceptable at the following lecture session after it is due (50% of credit only). No credit for homework later than this. Special cases can only be handled by lecturer.

Open book, Calculator required.
