Policy on Collaboration

You may collaborate on homeworks with your fellow students to limited degree. You may discuss general issues with other students, but the specific details of your homeworks must be your own work. More specifically, you may discuss details of the algorithms presented in lectures and the textbook, but you may not discuss details of how to apply these algorithms in the context of specific projects. If you had significant help in doing your homework by any other source besides the professor, the teaching assistant or the textbook, you must specify in writing:

Any violations of this policy will be reported to the Dean of the Graduate School. All parties involved in a case of plagiarism get an automatic grade of zero (0) in the homework/test. Repeated cases of plagiarism get an automatic F in the course.
