Academic Misconduct Policy

While you are free to discuss the course material with your classmates,
collaboration on homework or programming assignments is not permitted.

Helping a friend understand the intent of a homework or programming
assignment specification is permitted. Students who work together too
closely (e.g. design their solution together) should be aware that this is a
form of cheating called COLLUSION and is subject to academic penalties.
Penalties for academic misconduct include a failing grade in this course.

Acts that exceed the bounds defined by the approved collaboration practices
will be considered cheating. Such acts include:
• Copying solutions from someone else or giving someone else your
solutions.
• Participation in a discussion group that develops a solution that everyone
copies.

We urge everyone in the class to take appropriate measures for protecting
one's work. You should protect your files, homework solution sheets, etc. as
deemed reasonable.
15
On-Line Resources

The course has a website at http://cs101.110mb.com

The website will contain last-minute changes in
homework assignments, lab experiments, homework
solutions, etc.
