Academic Honesty
  • All students are expected to do their own work
  • Cheating is taken very seriously
  • We have expelled students for cheating in the
    past.
  • Examples
  • Discussing general parameters of an assignment -
    OK
  • Copying someone elses assignment NOT OK
  • Looking at and directly using someone elses code
    NOT OK
  • Downloading code from the Web and claiming it as
    your own NOT OK
  • Unauthorized collaboration on an exam NOT OK
  • If you are unsure whether something is permitted,
    please ask!
