| Academic Honesty | |
| Unless explicitly noted otherwise, the work in this
course is to be done independently. Discussions with other students
on the assignments should be limited to understanding the statement of
the problems. Cheating in any way, including giving your work to
someone else will result in an F for the course and a report to the
appropriate University authority. Submissions that are alike in a
substantive way will be considered to be cheating by ALL involved
parties. Please protect yourselves by only storing your files in
private directories, and by retrieving all printouts promptly.
Also, please make sure you read, understand and abide by the Academic Integrity Code for the School of Computing and Information. |
