Members of this class are responsible for understanding the course requirements outlined here. They apply to all coursework unless specific instructions for a particular piece of work override those given here. These are specific rules for this course which are completely compatible with the CS department policy.

I assume you are honest and I have no intention or desire to discover otherwise. I will be personally offended if any member of this class violates this trust. The result will almost surely be failure in the course. Ignorance of the requirements is not an excuse.

• Quizzes are closed book, closed note. Please have your desk clear.
  
  
• Exams will probably be closed book, closed note. This decision may change; I will let you know.
  
  
• Written Homework: You may collaborate with other students in the class to the extent of formulating a general approach to the problems. You must write up your solutions on your own, without any material from other students. You may not at any time read the detailed solutions of other students. You may not get help from people not in the class; speak with me if this is a problem for you. You may look at assignments from previous versions of the course; they are available for everyone. If you consult any source besides the course textbook, you must cite this on your assignment.
  
  
• Computer Programs: You may collaborate with other students in the class to the extent of discussing high-level design decisions. You may also ask others basic questions about a programming language or development environment. You may not show anyone (in or out of the class) your code (besides the TAs and myself). You may not look at other people's code. You must be the sole author of all the code you submit. You may consult general language references without citing them.
  
  
• Questions: If you have any questions about these policies, you must ask me enough in advance of a due date that I can resolve any ambiguities and you can complete the assignment. If in doubt and it's 4AM the night before something is due, just write clearly on your assignment what you did. Any honest presentation of your work is not a violation of academic integrity.
