Academic integrity
I encourage discussing the assignments with your classmates. However, all submitted work must entirely be written by the student (alone) in his/her own words. Submission of work copied from classmates, from the web or any unauthorized source will be considered an incident of cheating. I will award penalty of one letter grade upon the first incident, and will award the fail grade (F) and report to the university disciplinary committee upon the second incident. Cheating in either mid-term or final exam will result in fail grade in the course.
