Policy on collaboration
|
Collaboration is not permitted. While it is fine to discuss projects with others, it is a cheating violation when code is copied or shared. If a student is caught sharing his or her work with another, a failing grade will be assigned to that student for the course. Likewise, if a student uses another person's work and submits it as his or her own, a failing grade will be assigned for the course. Any case of suspected cheating will be brought to the Dean’s attention. At that point, the policies of the Heinz College on cheating will be followed.
