Some class activities, assignments and lab exercises will be individually developed work and some team work.
Discussions between fellow students (or between different teams when it is team work) is encouraged as long as the activity is not a test and
if there is no sharing of solutions.
Each student (if it is individual work) or team (if it is team work) is required to create,
develop and submit his/her/their own solution .
Similarly, even if it is not a test, students should not use material from other sources
(such as the internet or prior courses) without making an explicit reference to it.
Copying literally from any source (be it a class
mate or internet or other sources) is considered plagiarism.
This course includes class activities, lab activities, mini-tests and others for which it will be encouraged to
work in teams. During these activities it is not considered to be
an academic honesty offense to work in teams, but rather it
is encouraged.
Academic Honesty plays a key role in
our efforts to maintain a high
standard of academic excellence and integrity. Students are advised that
all acts of intellectual dishonesty are subject to disciplinary action by
the School; serious infractions are dealt with in accordance with the
Code of Academic Honesty (T10.02)
Students are encouraged
to read the
University Academic Honesty and Student Conduct policies.
Students are also encouraged to do a
self directed online tutorial about plagiarism developed by the SFU Library.
