Academic Honesty
Policy
Unless
explicitly noted, all work is to be done on an individual basis.
You are encouraged to discuss with others about ideas and material in
the
course, in preparing for exams, in understanding homework problems,
project statements etc. However, all homework solutions, exams are to
be
written individually, and the solutions should be your own. Projects
requiring teamwork, you are required to solve the problem with your
partner/(s), and not with other teams.
Any
violation of the WPI's guidelines for academic honesty will result in
no credit for the course and referral to the Student Affairs Office.

information on definitions, responsibilities and procedures regarding
the
WPI academic honesty policy can be found here.
