If assignments submitted are very similar in form and substance to someone else's then both parties will share a zero for the assignment. Exams are closed book but allow one sheet of notes . No make-up exams or switching sections without prior permission. A grade of zero will be assigned for exams missed without prior consent. You are expected to know definitions and terms.
Study groups are beneficial.
Exams and Computer exercises are designed and analyzed to detect copying and other cheating. Cheating on exams or assignments is not tolerated and could result in formal disciplinary action. Instead, I use the application report to decide borderline cases. Please do not call me to get your final grade. I will probably not be very accessible by phone between sessions as I commit that time to other projects.
