If you willfully misrepresent someone else's work as your own, you are guilty of cheating. Cheating, in any form, will not be tolerated in this class.If you are guilty of cheating on any assignment or exam, you will be penalized the number of points that the assignment is worth. For example, if you are guilty of cheating on an assignment worth 10 points, your score on that assignment will be -10. If you copy from anyone in the class both parties will be penalized, regardless of which direction the information flowed. Two or more instances of cheating in the course will result in a grade of F for the class, and will be referred to the School of Engineering Discipline Committee.
We will follow the guidelines of the University Undergradate Academic Integrity Policy, but we reserve the right to make the final determination of what constitutes cheating for this class. If you suspect that you may be entering an ambiguous situation, it is your responsibility to clarify it before the professor or TAs detect it. If in doubt, please ask
You are also encouraged to look things up on the web. While there's a lot of information out there, there's also a lot of nonsense. You should always exercise caution before using anything you find on the web. You should never download and use code if you do not understand how it works. For several of the assignments, you will be asked to write code that you might reasonably find on the web. If you download and use code (even if you're just "inspired" by it, and don't use it character-for-character), you must tell us. Using someone else's code is fine, but if you do not tell us that you did it, you will be considered to have cheated, and will be subject to the integrity policy, above.
