Rules of Originality for Programming Assignments

I encourage you to discuss common problems with your classmates but all work you turn in must be your own. While you are free to consult with your colleagues on common programming problems (from a design perspective), you are not free to incorporate someone else's work into your work, in whole or in part, without permission and public acknowledgment.

Copying any or all of another person's work without acknowledgment and permission and submitting it as your own work constitutes plagiarism and will receive a grade of zero with no resubmission allowed.

This includes copying material from web sites, journals, magazines, textbooks, AND other people's programs and/or computer disks. I expect all written work and all programming assignments to be your own work, not a copy of someone else's work. Should this become a problem, all students involved will receive a grade of zero, no matter who completed the original work. This will be considered academic misconduct and will be subject to the penalties thereof. Any repeat offenses may result in the student receiving a failing grade for the course as well as possible repercussions from the College.
