Collaboration Policy

You may

• Work with at most one other person on each of the group programming projects.
• Share ideas with people in other programming groups.
• Help other people debug their programs.

You may NOT

• Share code with other people.
• Submit code that you (or your partner) did not write.
• Modify someone else's solution and claim it as your own.
• Failure to abide by these rules will result in an F in the course for everyone involved. Furthermore, everyone involved will forfeit his or her right to drop the course. For example, if one team gives a working program to a second team and the second team submits this same program (even with minor changes), all people on both teams will receive an F.
