When you present ideas orally to the class or in writing, unless you state otherwise, you are claiming these ideas to be your own work or the work of your group. If you got a key hint or idea from someone or somewhere else, the honorable course of action is to inform your audience by saying "We saw this formula in the textbook, on page ..." or "Professor X suggested we look at ..." or "My roommate said this was ..." or "I googled it and found ..." or whatever the case may be. If you used your calculator or computer to do a computation, this should be stated as well. If you are watching another student present, and are not sure where an idea or computation came from, please ask them to clarify.

Similarly, when you hand in written work, either as part of homework or a test, you are claiming this work to be your own. Especially on written work, you should make sure that explanations are written in your own words, even if you worked with others on figuring out the solutions. If you got help from a person, book, the internet, a magical hobbit living under your bed, or any other resource, again the honorable course of action is to cite that person or resource on your paper. A statement "I worked with Boaty McBoatFace on this problem", "I checked this computation with Wolfram Alpha", etc. is typically sufficient.

*An important thing to remember regarding academic integrity as a whole: if you bomb an assignment or test, even if you make a zero, you can still make a good grade in the course. If you cheat on an assignment or test to make a good grade on that one assignment, you may fail the course, or worse.
