Policy on Cheating and Collaboration For CS150
Anyone involved in acts of Cheating or Plagiarism will be given zero credit for that assignment and a warning.
A second offense will result in an F for the course and an informal Cheating and Plagiarism report will be filed with
the Department office. It is the students responsibility to read and understand the information below.
You are encouraged to discuss course material with other students. Don't be shy about consulting with anyone,
but please understand that you, and only you, bear the responsibility for solving the problems associated with
producing a successful project or solving a lab assignment. Please read the University
Policy on Cheating and Plagiarism and keep the following in mind.
- All material turned in for credit must be your own work . For the programming projects, you may
discuss design issues with other students, but you, must write your own code. Copying part or all of another student's
assignment, with or without the student's knowledge, is prohibited. Similarly, copying old solutions is prohibited.
- Receive help with care. Avoid working too closely with another student. Otherwise, you can unwittingly
become dependent on that student's help and fool yourself into thinking that you understand things better than
you really do. Always attempt to do as much as you can on your own. Then, after you do seek help, be sure to work
through similar problems on your own. Learning how to use programming resources (e.g., manuals, debuggers) is essential
to becoming a programmer.
- Give help with care. Don't help "too much." When you understand something, you may be
tempted to show someone the complete solution. However, if you do this, you will rob them of the learning experience
of reaching the solution on their own. Try giving a hint that will help them get "unstuck" Although you
are allowed to help other students, you are never under any obligation to do so.
Academic Integrity
Dishonesty is inconsistent with academic pursuits and professional work. In the academic environment, dishonesty
includes, but is not limited to:
* claiming the work of another as your own,
* stealing someone else's work,
* acquiring prior knowledge of an examination or assignment, and
* failing to report someone else's loss of integrity.
It is acceptable (and encouraged) to discuss homework problems and programs as noted above. You may trade ideas
and help each other debug programs. It is not acceptable to copy another student's homework or program or to use
another students design. Any program which does not show independent thought or work will be given no credit.
