Collaboration Policy

In order to ensure that the exam is a fair and meanful measure of your understanding, as well as a solid learning tool, there are some guidelines that should govern your conduct until you have been told that all members of the class have submitted their exams.

These guidelines are not designed to be overly restrictive. In fact, they are designed to be rather liberal. They should be interpreted in a manner that is consistent with the following governing principles:

• Your solutions to the exam questions should be the product of your own though processes.
• You should provide proper attribution to those who contributed ideas that were not the product of your thought processes, but are present in your solution.
• Discussion of lecture material is a good thing.

Legal resources:

• Your textbook, your notes, and material residing within the 15-498 Web space
• Conversations with anyone to clarify any material present in the resources listed above: if you can point at it, you can discuss it. (Conversations should be read broadly, not necessarily face-to-face)
• Conversations with anyone to clarify the meaning or expectation associated with each of the exam questions.
• Anything approved by the course staff in writing, e-mail, or updates to this Web page.

Illegal resources:
