Honesty with oneself and with others is of utmost importance in life. The work you do in this course should reflect your honesty and integrity. In practical terms, this means that you should be honest with yourself about how much time you spend on homework, how well you understand the material, and the level of reliance you have on others to complete the assignments. For example, you are encouraged to work with others on homework; merely copying someone else's work and turning it in as your own does not enhance your understanding and is dishonest. If you do work with others on the homework, write down on your assignment the names of the students you worked with.
If there is clear evidence that a student has committed fraud to advance his/her academic status (for example, cheating on an exam or quiz), your instructor will be obliged to deal with the matter in accordance with the Code of Academic Integrity and Acknowledging the Work of Others. If you are aware of such activity by another student in the course, you should bring the matter to your instructor's attention immediately.
