The Honor Code of Vanderbilt University applies to
all graded work in CS 103. Unless your instructor specifically states otherwise
in writing, this work comprises any quizzes, homework, laboratory exercises, programming
assignments, tests, examinations, or final examination that are graded for this course. You may neither
receive unauthorized help with this work nor give help to someone who is not
given explicit permission by the instructor to receive it.
Your instructor and teaching assistant(s) are authorized
to give you help on all work. (Help will not be given if it provides an unfair
advantage.)
You must sign the following honor pledge on every test/examination:
I pledge my honor that I have neither given nor received
aid on this work.
(Please note: This requirement is included at the
request of Vanderbilt's Honor Council. If you have questions about the Honor
Code or the Honor Council, you may ask your professor or visit the Honor
Council website.)
The following are specific rules regarding tests, laboratory/homework and programming
projects:
Tests: Test instructions will be explained in class.
In short, you are allowed to have open only MATLAB, the MATLAB file editor,
the test taking program (GUI), and optionally the MATLAB help
documentation--NO OTHER FILES, PROGRAMS, WINDOWS, etc. are allowed. If
you are caught with any other applications open or running, or any other files
open, in any program, you will be reported to the Honor Council.
If you miss a test, due to sickness or any other reason, you are NOT allowed
to obtain the test in any manner, such as asking to see it from a student that
did take the test. Also, if you miss a test, you are NOT allowed to look
at the test solutions when they are made available online. A missed test
must be made up at the Professor's earliest convenience. Note: it is ok for
anyone to look at old tests FROM ANOTHER SEMESTER. But you are not
allowed to look at any test (or solutions) FROM THIS SEMESTER if you did not
take that test.
Homework:
Because homework is not graded, you may (i.e., it is allowed) receive help from anyone and you may also give help to anyone.
Projects:
You may (i.e., it is allowed) give help to and
receive help from anyone about any computer, any operating system, and
any programming language, and about error messages from any of these.
Regarding the given project itself, you
may not get help from anyone other than the instructor and the teaching assistants. You
may not look at, or copy, code related to the project written by anyone other than your instructor or a teaching assistant, nor may you allow
your code to be copied by anyone else, and you may not have copies
of code written by other students in your possession. You must take care
not to leave copies of your code in publicly accessible areas.
No exceptions are made for tutors.
It is your obligation to make certain that you understand
and abide by these rules. If you have any doubts, ask your instructor for
clarification, not another student and not a teaching assistant.
