The Computer Science Department expects its students to conform to, and to adopt as their own, the highest standards of integrity, honesty, and professionalism. Students are responsible for reading and understanding this material. The Bulldog Handbook gives a detailed description of the Policies and Procedures for Handling Academic Misconduct, including the student s rights. Computer Science faculty members will follow these procedures in instances of academic misconduct.
Scientists naturally use and build upon the works of others.
However, it is important to cite the source of ideas and words that did not originate with you and which you use in your works. These rules apply whether you are saying something in a talk, publishing it in a paper, writing it on a take-home exam or homework, or coding it in a program. The following guidelines are intended to aid Computer Science students in avoiding plagiarism. Do your own work unless specifically told that collaboration is allowed. Do not provide assistance in any manner not allowed by the instructor.
