Jeff Ward's smodels_cc
project
Teaching: Students
may collaborate on principles and concepts relating to any homework or
laboratory prob-
lem or program.
However, each student must individually design and write her(is) own
answer,
solution, algorithm, or code that ishanded
in, unless I explicitly
authorize you to do otherwise.
If you feel you have accidentally gone beyond
this,say, doing part of your
program design together,
clearly explain how much of the work was done
tothether andcite your fellow
students (or other
source). (You may lose credit for the
part you did not do, but, by being honest, you are not com-
mitting
plagiarism.)
On
group assignments I of course expect students in the group to work
together
(although I nor-
mally also want to knowwhich
member(s) did each part). For group work, turn in only one copy
of the assignment, with all group
member's names
on it.
Allowing
someone else to copy your work is also considered plagiarism.
(It is also your responsibility
not to leave your workin
public places where copying is too easy.)
On a programming or other homwork assignment, the first instance of
plagiarism
will normally
result in a score
of 0 on that assignment; a second instance will normally result in a
grade
of "F"
for the course and likely further
punishement as per the University's code of student conduct.
Any plagiarism on exams and on term-length projects will normally
result
in a grade of "F" for
the course and likely further
punishment.
Science is an Art, not a Science.
Two qualities of a good scientist:
1. A wild imagination.
2. A very hard-nosed standard for establishing truth.The more abstract the topic you are writing about, the more precise you need to make your use of language. A grunt will often suffice for discussing sports; extreme precision is needed in discussing quantum mechanics or transfinite set theory.
Quiz: Distinguish among the meanings of the following four sentences:
1. "Only I want to eat asparagus."
2. "I only want to eat asparagus."
3. "I want only to eat asparagus."
4. "I want to eat only asparagus."
(It is irrelevant that, for me, all four are false.)
