All work you turn in must be entirely your own. You may discuss general strategies for programs with other students in the class, but you must do 100% of the coding by yourself.
Similarly, you may discuss the math problems with other students--in fact, I encourage you to do so--but you are expected to write up your solutions by yourself. If you do work on the math problems with other students, please put the names of your group at the top of your problem set.
Use of the Internet: You are allowed to look at Sun's Java site, the textbooks' web sites, Wikipedia, and any Java tutorial sites that you like.
If you are using any material from any Java tutorial site other than the textbooks' sites or Sun's main site, then you must acknowledge that site in the comments in your code. Failure to do so is plagiarism, an extremely serious form of cheating.
You may not use (e.g., via Google search) solutions or code snippets for programming assignments or math assignments that may possibly be posted someplace on the Internet.
The minimum penalty for any cheating will be an F for the course (not just the assignment in question!), and the maximum penalty is expulsion from the University.
``You can do absolutely anything here, except for murder and plagiarism. And even in that case, they're often willing to punish first-time offenders lightly--if it's only murder.''--Direct quote of speaker at Prof. Sloan's freshman orientation in fall of 19-mumble-mumble.
I will be checking for copied programming assignments using a quality automated tool.
You are responsible for protecting your own code. This includes making sure not to throw out print outs in the computer lab as well as keeping your files protected. Failure to protect your own code will also be treated as a cheating/copying violation. In industry, if you are the person whose carelessness causes your company to loose vital intellectual property that has been protected through trade secret, I guarantee you that you will be harshly treated.
