CS99: Academic Integrity

Notes

The rules contained herein represent our adaptation of the Department of Computer Science Code and Cornell University Code, by which you must also abide.

Doing homework

• You may discuss work with other students. Generally, discussing an algorithm, approach, or general form of code is acceptable. However, cooperation should never involve other students possessing a copy of all, or a portion of, your work, regardless of format.
• Unless otherwise posted, you must work by yourself for each homework assignment.
• For lab exercises, you may work with as many people as you wish during the lab.

Submitting homework

• All work that you submit must generate the entire output you submit in your assignments.
• Your name should not appear on more than one submission.
• You may not alter your work before submitting it for a regrade.

What are the penalties?

• We assign penalties on a case-by-case basis.
• We hold you responsible in case of a violation.
• We may lower your grade, assign a failing grade, request Cornell University disciplinary action, and/or apply a permanent mark on your transcript.

Who should you contact?

• Contact a member of the course staff immediately if you suspect a violation of the Code of Academic Integrity.
