Homework

Collaboration is encouraged; copying is not.  Explaining how you solved a problem to someone is fine; handing them your solutions is not.  Helping someone debug their schematic or circuit is fine; giving them your schematic is not.

Write your own answers and draw your own schematics without staring at someone else's. (see cheating policy above)
