+ | |||
+ | * We encourage students to work with classmates, other students, and the faculty. However, you are expected to do this in a professional and responsible fashion. Each student is expected to turn in assignments that have been independently synthesized and written. This applies also to, and especially to, computer assignments. Ask questions and discuss, but never simply copy answer without providing your own synthesis and interpretation. Likewise, help your peers by discussing and explaining, not simply providing an answer to be copied. | ||
+ | * Homework solutions from previous years are very strictly off-limits. You are on your honor not to use them, and never to share your homework solutions with other students, now or in the future. Likewise, the solutions are for your personal use only. You may keep one copy in your personal files. | ||
+ | * Sources must be appropriately documented. If you follow a line of reasoning from another text, reference it properly (it will help you locate the resource later, too). If someone else helps you solve a problem, reference that too. In a research paper, the appropriate reference would be: Jane Doe, (private communication). | ||
