Academic Honesty

The university's Academic Honesty policy is in effect for this course. Please read "Academic Honesty" in the Drexel University Student Handbook to make sure you are familiar with this policy (http://www.drexel.edu/judicial/honesty.html).

You must be the sole original author of all assignments and examination solutions in their entirety, unless the instructor explicitly instructs you to do otherwise in written directions on an assignment or exam. As the university's policy explains, penalties up to and including a failing grade for the course with no opportunity to withdraw, will be given for plagiarism, fabrication, or cheating.

The standards for originality in a program are similar to those of other written works. Programs by different authors show clear and substantial differences as judged by most criteria, including but not limited to: choice of variable and procedure names, line spacing and indentation, choice of program structure, choice of algorithms, ordering of modules, module design, and ordering and choice of instructions. The original author of an assignment can explain each detail and how they came to create it on their own.

It is your responsibility to avoid violating the university's policy. If you are unclear as to what the policy means in a particular situation, ask the instructor for clarification before you hand anything in.
