There are weekly homework assignments based on a textbook. We will finish each problem set and hand that in every two weeks. 

Since the assignments are straight out of the textbook, it is very easy to get a copy of the textbook solution manual from online sources. 

As an undergraduate student, if I try the problem myself, and then refer to the solution manual only for **comparing the final answers**, am I committed of academic dishonesty?

Since I have referred to the solution manual, it is very likely that I will receive a good score on the assignment. If I also have a very good score on the exam, does my score reflect that my homework wasn't copied from the solution manual?

The homework is only worth 10% of the overall grade.
