Students are expected to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity. All work submitted must be original and properly cited. Plagiarism, cheating, or any form of academic dishonesty will result in immediate consequences as outlined in the university's academic integrity policy.

All students are expected to comply with the Georgia Tech Honor Code (the honor code can be found at http://osi.gatech.edu/content/honor-code). Any evidence of cheating or other violations of the Georgia Tech Honor Code will be submitted directly to the Office of Student Integrity. Cheating includes, but is not limited to: 

• Using a calculator, books, or any form of notes on tests.
• Copying directly from any source, including friends, classmates, tutors, internet sources (including Wolfram Alpha or Chegg etc.), or a solutions manual. This applies to your homework as well! You can get help, but it’s important that you take ownership of your work.
• Allowing another person to copy your work.
• Taking a test or quiz in someone else's name, or having someone else take a test or quiz in your name.
• Asking for a regrade of a paper that has been altered from its original form.

Students are expected to maintain the highest standards of academic integrity. All work submitted must be original and properly cited. Plagiarism, cheating, or any form of academic dishonesty will result in immediate consequences as outlined in the university's academic integrity policy.

One serious kind of academic misconduct is plagiarism, which occurs when a writer, speaker, or designer deliberately uses someone else’s language, ideas, images, or other original material or code without fully acknowledging its source by quotation marks as appropriate, in footnotes or endnotes, in works cited, and in other ways as appropriate (modified from WPA Statement on “Defining and Avoiding Plagiarism”). If you engage in plagiarism or any other form of academic misconduct, you will fail the assignment in which you have engaged in academic misconduct and be referred to the Office of Student Integrity, as required by Georgia Tech policy. We strongly urge you to be familiar with these Georgia Tech sites: · Honor Challenge —https://osi.gatech.edu/students/honor-code · Office of Student Integrity — http://www.osi.gatech.edu/index.php/

Every Student is expected to read, understand and abide by the Georgia Tech Academic Honor Code. Academic misconduct is taken very seriously in this class.

Exercises and problem sets are collaborative. You are encouraged to work with your classmates to talk through problems, debug code, explain a concept, etc. However, the work submitted for a grade must be your own. You should not copy answers directly from other students, nor should you copy any code directly from other students.

Similarly, you should not send any code you write to your classmates. You can show it off either side-by-side or via teleconference, but it should not be shared in its copyable text format. When asking questions about your code on the course forum, we ask that you post screenshots of your code along with its output rather than copying the code itself. This makes it slightly more difficult to directly borrow from someone else's work, as well as often helps us answer your question by seeing its output and referencing specific line numbers.

Additionally, you should not copy/paste questions from this course to any third-party web sites, such as Stack Overflow. You are welcome to use these resources for additional support, but when doing so, you should have already attempted the problem and be able to explain what your goal and issue are in your own words. You should not copy the entire problem description and ask, "Can anyone help with this?" Instead, you should attempt the problem and be prepared to ask a question like, "I'm trying to reverse this string, but right now the string never seems to get changed. What's wrong? Here's my current code:" Not only is this restriction necessary to maintain academic honesty, but it is also good programming practice: you will often find that in the process of explaining where you're stuck, you solve the issue yourself.

These policies apply straightforwardly to collaboration with AI agents such as ChatGPT and Github Copilot as well. We encourage use of these tools as assistants when working on exercises and problem sets, but you should make sure you are using them as assistants. You should learn from these tools, then let that improved understanding show on the problems you complete. You should never send the entirety of a problem description to an AI assistant, nor should you copy the response you receive back into your own submission. Instead, you should attempt problems yourself, ask AI assistants for help if you are stuck, learn from their responses, and recreate those responses in your own work. You can ensure you are using AI assistance effectively by following these two heuristics: (a) never Copy (literally, Ctrl/Cmd+C copy) anything you receive from an AI assistant, and (b) do not have your own code open while interacting with the assistants. If you follow these two heuristics, you guarantee that any assistance you receive will contribute to your own understanding, which you can then demonstrate on the assignments.

No collaboration is permitted during quizzes and tests. You may not interact with anyone during the quizzes and tests: not in person, not via phone, not via the computer. During quizzes and tests, you should only access the quiz or test; no other resources. Our proctoring service will automatically flag any violations of this policy.

To summarize:

• You are permitted and encouraged to seek help from others on course exercises and problem sets, but you may not copy anyone else's code into your own submission.
• You are permitted and encouraged to help your friends and classmates, but you may not send them your actual code in an easily copyable format.
• You are permitted to seek additional support from third-party services like Stack Overflow and other sites, but you may not copy the actual assignment instructions into your question; instead, you must present your request in your own words.
• During quizzes and tests, you may not consult any other resources or interact with any other people via any mechanism.

In this course, we aim to conduct ourselves as a community of scholars, recognizing that academic study is both an intellectual and ethical enterprise. You are encouraged to build on the ideas and texts of others; that is a vital part of academic life. You are also obligated to document every occasion when you use another’s ideas, language, or syntax. You are encouraged to study together, discuss readings outside of class, share your drafts during peer review and outside of class, and go to the Writing Center with your drafts. In this course, those activities are well within the bounds of academic honesty.

However, when you use another’s ideas or language—whether through direct quotation, summary, or paraphrase—you must formally acknowledge that debt by signaling it with a standard form of academic citation. Even one occasion of academic dishonesty, large or small, on any assignment, large or small, can result in failure for the entire course and referral to Student Judicial Affairs.
