Scholastic dishonesty will not be tolerated.

Working together on homework assignments is encouraged, but the final product submitted for grade must be the individual work of the person turning it in. In other words, it is all right to discuss and to assist each other concerning programming strategy or technique or for one student to help another debug code which will not work; but each student is expected to write his or her own programs from beginning to end. In this regard, if code from two or more students is essentially identical, and it is determined to the satisfaction of the instructor that the code is the product of a group effort, the assignment may be ejected with no credit for any of the students involved. For repeat offenders more serious disciplinary actions may be taken.

Plagiarism is the presentation of the work of someone else without giving him or her due credit.

You can copy the words of others as long as you clearly identify them as such. Submitted work will be examined for plagiarism using computer software designed for that purpose. Examinations are meant to measure the knowledge or skill of each individual, so giving or receiving unauthorized assistance during tests and quizzes is cheating. It is assumed that college students know what is honest and what is not. Any identified instances of scholastic dishonesty will be dealt with in accordance with the procedures outlined in the University Student Rules.
