Academic Dishonesty
All of your programming assignments and exams need to represent
your own effort. Programs should be done without consultation with
other students and you should not share your source code with others.
Any program submitted that is essentially the same, as someone else’s
will not be accepted. ALL matching assignments will receive 0 credits.
