Academic honesty/integrity statement:

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. Every Student is expected to read, understand, and abide by the Georgia Tech Academic Honor Code.

As a programming course, discussions about course sessions, programming concepts, and algorithms are encouraged. Exercises and practice problems are collaborative, for which students can collaborate by talking through problems, discussing the MATLAB programming language, etc. However, the work submitted by a student must be their own. Students should not copy or send code to peers, but high-level discussions on their solutions are permitted. Additionally, students should not copy & paste to other sources such as Stack Overflow, AI agents, or other platforms that would compromise the integrity of their work or violate the course's guidelines on original submission. Students may use these resources for support, such as further inquiring about algorithms, programming language syntax, etc., but they should be used after first attempting the problem independently. The goal of these resources should be to supplement students' learning process and practice good programming practices, not replace their learning process.

No collaboration is permitted during quizzes or tests.
