academic dishonesty and specifies the penalties.  Here are some guidelines for
independent work on a programming assignment:

Do not give a copy of your work to another student.
Do not do the assignments as a team.
Do not observe as another student does a homework.
If you have finished the assignment, you may offer debugging assistance
to another student.  This assistance should be LIMITED.

A policy outlining penalties for turning in homework late appears on each
assignment.  Do not turn homework into the Computer Science Department.

If you miss an exam and hope to take a make-up, you will need to either make an
arrangement with the instructor ahead of time or be able the document an emergency
afterward.

Students having a physical, learning, or other disability that requires accommodation
should contact the instructor as soon as possible.

Cell phones, pagers, and other devices that beep must be turned off during class, unless
necessary for emergencies.
