When you draw the joist, do you have to draw it over the bearing wall by a few inches or not?

Question:
It seems like there is a debate going on the way to draw joist.
When you draw the joist, do you have to draw it over the bearing wall by a few inches or not? I understand that in your book you stopped the joist at the face of the wall.
Looking at the NCARB passing solution, they also stopped the joist at the faceof the bearing wall.
I am little confused now.

Response: Either way is OK.
The joists can be shown anywhere from touching thebearing walls to extend half-way into the bearing walls.
