"- Think of these homeworks as small take-home exams.\n",
"- Additionally, there will be reading assignments every week.\n",
"- Each week before the lecture, there will be a short quiz about the content of the reading assignments.\n",
"- Neither the TA nor the instructor will answer questions about your homework after the deadline.\n",
