Academic Integrity

You are expected to behave with integrity at all times. Cheating will result in a grade of zero on the assignment or exam on which the student cheats and the initiation of disciplinary action at the university level. Allowing another student to use your work as his/her own is also academic misconduct. There are a few simple steps that you can take to protect your work from unauthorized copying by another can be found here. For assignments, we will be using source-code plagiarism tools to check that code has not been duplicated.
