Academic Dishonesty
Students may:
- receive help from the professor, the lab assistant, and the TAs.
- discuss the requirements of the assignments, the meaning of programs, or high level algorithms with other students or outside sources. If you have any doubt with respect to what is acceptable to discuss, speak with the professor first.
Students may NOT:
- look at another student's code or other solutions.
- receive unapproved help from an outside source including a tutor or a family member.
- copy code or text from any source, including the web.
Requirements
- If you wish to get a tutor in the course, you must first speak with the professor.
- Any help (including high level discussion of assignments,
algorithms, and programs) from a source other than the professor, the lab
assistant, or a TA must acknowledged. Example sources that must
be cited are a parent, a family friend, and a tutor. Your
citation should be at the top of your assignment, or in a comment
at the top of your program.
- Any code or written solution submitted by a student must be
completely original. No portion of a student's code or text may
be copied from any other source (including another student, a web
page, or another text book).
Penalties
- The penalty for a first offense (including a failure to cite
any help you received) will be a 0 on the assignment.
Two students who submit identical code will both receive a
0 on the assignment. Make sure to remove all relevant files when
leaving a shared computer and remove all printouts from a shared printer.
- A second offense will result in a report to the Dean of the
College and further action.
