you to respect the highest standards of honesty and integrity. All work that you submit in this course must
be your own; unauthorized group efforts are considered academic dishonesty. See the online brochure
Academic Integrity: A Guide for Students for definitions and sanctions. Academic dishonesty is a serious
offense. A grade of F will normally be recorded on the transcripts of students found responsible for acts
of academic dishonesty. In addition, suspension or expulsion from the University may result. Students are
encouraged to report academic dishonesty to the instructor directly, or to the Office of the Dean of Students.
You may discuss assignments in a general way with other students, but you may not consult any one else’s
written work. Examples of academic dishonesty include:
• You examine another student’s solution to a written or programming assignment
• You allow another student to examine your solution to a written or programming assignment
• You fail to take reasonable care to prevent another student from examining your solution to a written
or programming assignment and that student does examine your solution. For example, if you allow
another student to check his/her email from your terminal while you step out of the room, you have
failed to take reasonable care to prevent him/her from accessing your files.
In addition, it is unwise and I strongly discourage you from sitting
next to or nearby your friend or
classmate while you both work on an assignment.
