CS 527A Collaboration Policy
All students enrolled in any course in The School of Engineering and
Applied Science must abide by the SEAS
Academic Integrity Policy. In addition, when you enroll in CS 527A,
you agree to adhere to the following policy. Note that for the
purposes of CS 527A coursework, the CS 527A policy takes precedence over
the SEAS policy. Please ask if you have any questions.
CS 527A Collaboration Policy:
- All material turned in for credit must be your own work.
- You may discuss ideas with other students, but you
must not share any written material and you must
write up all solutions on your own.
- Any sources of help (other than the instructor and the TAs) must
be appropriately named and credited on your cover sheet.
- If you plan to turn in your assignment for credit,
you must be completely finished with your own assignment before
looking at any other student's assignment (in order to compare solutions
or help them with it).
Violations of the collaboration policy carry severe
penalties. The minimum penalty will be a negative score in the
amount of the assignment. For each homework there will be a cover
sheet that explicitly asks you to acknowledge sources (people,
websites, books, ...) with which you had discussion that are related
to the homework problem(s). If a student did help you fix a bug in
one of your programming assignments that student should be
acknolwedged on the cover sheet. No homework will be accepted without
a signed cover sheet. If you have questions about any of this, or if
you need advice for specific situations, see Professor Goldman.
