Academic (dis-)honesty
 Basic principle: It is not permitted to present as your own something
which is created by someone else.

This applies to homeworks, lab assignments, exams, written and oral
reports, etc.

In group/pair work, it is not allowed to let one student (or a few) do all (or
most) the work.

Note: Allowing someone else to copy your work also is cheating!
 Discussing solutions with classmates, other friends, or teachers, is allowed,
but giving a solution is not allowed
 Proper references and quoting is ok, but be careful to avoid plagiarism.
 A lot of quoting is not a plagiarism, but you can be failed!
 If you are not sure, ask one of the teachers!
 You must sign the agreement!
