ACADEMIC HONESTY
Computer Information Systems
How many of these do you think are OK?
 Working independently
 Group discussion on approaches to the solution
 Getting help from a student aide, tutor, lab assistant, or professor
 Comparing answers with other students or the professor
 Writing code side-by-side at the terminals
 Having the tutor or student aide write some of your code
 Giving your code to someone else to help them
 Accepting another person’s program as a guide
 Taking a printout that belongs to someone else
 Submitting another person’s code as your own
I think the first four are fine. The fifth one is OK if each person writes his or her own code. The rest are a
problem, in my opinion, and the last one is a violation of DCC’s Student Code of Conduct as stated in the
Rights and Responsibilities Handbook.
