IMPORTANT: HOMEWORK POLICY / ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT

All students must understand and abide by the following homework policy:

Consultation and collaboration with classmates is permitted.

HOWEVER, ALL HOMEWORK SUBMITTED MUST BE YOUR OWN WORK.

To be more specific, the following occurrences (not an exhaustive list) WILL be treated as possible cases of academic misconduct. (I assume in the following that cheating is fundamentally a two-person interaction; let X and Y be two students)

  1. Work where student X's work is byte-wise identical to Y's work for no good reason, and there seldom is a good reason.
  2. Work where X's source code is the same or very nearly the same as Y's, with primarily comments and/or names of variables changed.

The University takes this form of academic misconduct very seriously, and so do I.

All strong evidence of cheating is therefore reported to, and dealt with through, the Head of the Department.
