All students should follow Student Academic Honesty Code (if you have not already read it, please read it carefully). All forms of cheating will be treated with utmost seriousness. You may discuss the problems with other students, however, you must write your OWN codes and solutions. Discussing solutions to the problem is NOT acceptable. Copying an assignment from another student or allowing another student to copy your work may lead to an automatic F for this course. You need ensure that your code and documentation are protected and not accessible to other students. Use chmod 700command to change the permissions of your working directories before you start working on the assignments. If you have any questions about whether an act of collaboration may be treated as academic dishonesty, please consult the instructor before you collaborate.
