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 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 laboratory/homework and programming
projects:
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.
Programming projects (not homework assignments):
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 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 this 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.
