Academic Honesty |
Students are responsible for
upholding the rules of academic honesty as spelled out in the Rensselaer Handbook. Students are
encouraged to collaborate on homework but must write up solutions
independently. Students may not copy or paraphrase homework solutions
obtained from the internet, textbooks, or any other sources. A single
instance of cheating will result in a failing grade for the course. |
