CSE599 Policies
Collaboration
Homework: Unless we specifically state otherwise, we encourage collaboration
on homework, provided (1) You spend at least 15 minutes on each and every
problem alone, before discussing it with others, and (2) You write up each
and every problem in your own writing, using your own words, and understand
the solution fully. Copying someone else's homework is cheating (see below),
as is copying the homework from another source (other classes, etc.).
Research Miniproject: We will treat the research miniproject
just like an extended homework assignment, meaning that we encourage collaboration,
but what you hand in must be your own work. You may discuss the subject
material and general project overview with anyone, but you must hand in
a project that you have conceived and solved yourself.
Cheating
Cheating is a very serious offense. If you are caught cheating, you can
expect a failing grade and initiation of a cheating case in the University
system. Basically, cheating is an insult to the instructor, to the department
and major program, and most importantly, to you. If you feel that you are
having a problem with the material, or don't have time to finish an assignment,
or have any number of other reasons to cheat, then talk with the instructor.
Just don't cheat.
To avoid creating situations where copying can arise, never e-mail or
post your solution files. You can post general questions about interpretation
and tools but limit your comments to these categories. If in doubt about
what might constitute cheating, send the instructor e-mail
describing the situation.
