Plagiarism
Plagiarism is claiming that someone else's work is your own. The department has a strict policy regarding plagiarism
and, if plagiarism is indeed discovered, this policy will be applied. Note that punishments apply also to anyone
assisting another to commit plagiarism (for example by knowingly allowing someone to copy your code).
Plagiarism is different from group work in which a number of individuals share ideas on how to carry out the
coursework. You are strongly encouraged to work in small groups, and you will certainly not be penalized for doing
so. This means that you may work together on the program. What is important is that you have a full understanding of
all aspects of the completed program. In order to allow proper assessment that this is indeed the case, you must adhere
strictly to the course work requirements as outlined above and detailed in the coursework problem description. These
requirements are in place to encourage individual understanding, facilitate individual assessment, and deter plagiarism.
