General Advice on Homework

Besides finding the answer, always try to explain, as well as you can, how you know you have the correct answer. That way, you'll learn faster and better and much more.
It's fine to work with other people, indeed I encourage it. However, you should write up your solutions yourself. Here's what I recommend:
1. Look at the problem first and think about it for at least a few minutes.
2. Discuss it with other people.
3. Write up a solution in your own words. Don't copy from the notes of your discussion.
Don't copy, because copied work doesn't do you much good for learning or test-taking.
