Course Policy

Turn-in all your work electronically by using the turnin command.

Your programs will be evaluated by using an ANSI C compiler.

No collaboration (exchange of information or files) is permitted on quizzes and final project. Any observed collaboration on these exams will be reported to the university authorities, which may result in severe consequences on your student status.

Collaboration during homework is permitted and encouraged, with full participation of all students in the study group.

Working with others on homework assignments is a good way to learn the material and is encouraged. Working together to find a good approach for solving a programming problem is healthy cooperation. However, any work that you submit must be your own work. Copying someone else's work is cheating. Keep in mind that we shall not distinguish between someone who copies somebody else's work and someone who allows their work to be copied.

Violators of the above rule will be given zero points for the assignment involved.

If you have any questions about what constitutes cheating, please ask.
