Most students have a pretty good idea of what is considered cheating on an exam or quiz.
However, many have a hard time distinguishing what is acceptable from what is not acceptable when it comes to writing in-class reports and doing homework in this course. It is expected that you will, on occasion, not successfully perform an experiment and that your data will not be correct. When this is the case you should focus on trying to explain what might have gone wrong. Your homework MUST be your own work. Keep in mind, also, that in such situations the person who allows someone to look at his or her paper is considered equally guilty.
