As
with all other classes at Cornell, you are expected to maintain a high
level of ethical standards and integrity in this course. This means
that all work you submit must be the result of your own individual
effort. You may discuss homework problems with other students in the
class, but you may not collaborate on the actual writing of the problem
sets or development of solutions. Under no circumstances would it be
acceptable for two or more students to turn in substantially similar
answers to a homework problem, or to have possession of each others'
homeworks. Everyone with whom you discussed the homework set must be
cited on the submitted homeworks. No part of the homework may be copied
from or be based on solution sets on the web - also keep in mind that
the solution sets on the web are often incomplete and incorrect.
The same standards apply for group projects, though at the group level.
Group members are expected to turn in the result of their collaborative
work with other members of the same group. No group should at any time
be in possession of another group's solution, or copy another group's
solution. It is your responsibility to protect your work from
unauthorized access.
Any violations of the academic integrity code will be penalized
according to the Cornell Academic Integrity Policy, and may result in
failure in the course, suspension, or expulsion from the university.
