Policies
| Consult class textbook or assigned readings | Search the internet on the topic of the assignment for basic definitions, terminology, etc. | Look at/search for solutions to specific problems from an assignment |
| Look at/search for solutions to similar problems to those from an assignment |
| Discussions* with classmates |
| Discussions with people outside of class |
| Explicit help in writing or proofreading solutions |
| Incorporate text/figures/graphics from other sources |
| Reuse material from a previous or concurrent class that you took or are taking |
| Reuse material from a previous or concurrent class that somebody else took or is taking |
*Discussions should be limited to small groups (2-3 people). If a solution or partial solution is reached during a discussion, each participant is individually responsible for writing down his/her solution based on their own understanding (so for example, transcribing a communally solved proof from a whiteboard and then later using these notes to write your own solution is NOT okay). All collaborators on a given assignment should be noted at the beginning of the write-up.
