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