Collaboration Policy

You are strongly encouraged to collaborate with one another in studying the textbook and the lecture materials.
You may discuss ideas and approaches to the assignments with others, but such discussions should be kept at a high level, and should not involve actual details of the code or of other types of answers. You must also acknowledge clearly in the appropriate portion of your work (e.g., in the comments of your code) people with whom you discussed ideas for that portion.
The work that you submit must be entirely your own, which you must complete without looking at other people's work. This includes the work of other students in the class, the work of people from outside the class, and solutions found online. If you are having trouble completing an assignment, we encourage you to ask questions on Piazza, to email the course staff, or to come to office hours.
You must not permit other students to look at your work.

Violations of Collaboration Policy

Violations of the collaboration policy -- whether they involve basing your work on the work of someone else or allowing another student to look at your work -- will result in a grade of 0 and will be reported to the Academic Conduct Committee (ACC). The ACC may suspend or expel students found guilty of plagiarism or other forms of misconduct. We will assume that you understand the University's Academic Conduct Code, which is available here:
