Academic Integrity

All students in this class will be held to the highest standard of academic honesty and integrity. You should read CS Department Code of Conduct. The policies described there will be followed in this class.

The sections that follow elaborate on the academic integrity policy described there and provide the specifics of what is expected in this class.

Homeworks: You are encouraged to form a study group and to work with other students on the homework assignments. But it is important that each student understand how to solve each problem. Therefore, you may work together to figure out how to do a problem. But each student must write up the solutions independently and turn in his own work with his own name on it.

Note that this policy means that you may not turn in something that is nearly identical to someone else's. Any work you turn in must be yours.

If any student is found to have turned in homework solutions that violate this policy, the minimum penalty will be a 0 on the entire homework portion of the class grade. Depending on the circumstances, a maximum penalty of an F in the class may be assigned.

Term Paper: Your term paper must be entirely your own work. You may use quotations from other materials only if they are properly cited. In addition, you must provide citations for all of the sources that you use in preparing your paper. This includes resources on the Internet.

Exams: The penalty for any form of cheating on an exam will be an F in the class and a cheating report to the Dean of Students Office.
