Academic honesty/integrity statement:

Georgia Tech aims to cultivate a community based on trust, academic integrity, and honor. Students are expected to act according to the highest ethical standards.  For information on Georgia Tech's Academic Honor Code, please visit http://www.catalog.gatech.edu/policies/honor-code/ or http://www.catalog.gatech.edu/rules/18/. If you are struggling in this class please come see me so that we can work together to identify those elements where you may need additional guidance and instruction. My goal is to create a learning environment that is challenging and encouraging.  You are responsible for knowing what plagiarism is (see this link for more: https://www.onlinecolleges.net/for-students/avoid-plagiarism/). Note: plagiarism includes the use of AI, such as ChatGPT and others, to generate original content. Cheating and/or plagiarizing on an assignment denies you the opportunity to learn.  It also puts you in jeopardy since any student suspected of cheating or plagiarizing on a quiz, exam, or assignment will be reported to the Office of Student Integrity, which will investigate the incident and identify the appropriate penalty for violations.
