Cheating You may not collaborate with anyone on any of the two exams. You may not use any electronic tools, including phones, netbooks, laptops, desktop computers, etc.

You must collaborate with your assigned partner on the weekly problem sets. You may request help from any staff member on weekly problem sets but you must do so together with your partner. You may not get any help from anyone else on a problem set.

You may not collaborate with anyone on the daily quizzes.

Why? Because in the real world cheaters get arrested and go to prison.

Students caught cheating will be reported to the university’s office on academic integrity and punished by the course staff.
