Note on academic integrity
All assignments are individual unless otherwise stated.
Tips to make sure you do not violate the academic integrity policy:
- Start on assignments right away so you do not find yourself in a desperate situation.
- If you are having trouble with an assignment, please email the professor and/or TAs.
- You may discuss the material with other students, the TAs, and the professor.
- Do not ask to see other students' code or solutions.
- Do not give your code or solutions to another student, even if the other student says they will not copy it.
Any violations of this policy will result in an 'F' for the course and a referral to the campus academic integrity committee.
Please familiarize yourself with the campus academic integrity policy which can be found here.
