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 are encouraged to discuss the material with other students, the TAs, and the professor. However,
- 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.
- Do not reuse solutions found online.
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.
