Collaboration and academic fraud

Academic fraud is taken seriously in this course. See the university policy posted here.

Brightspace quizzes

You should complete the quizzes on your own. General discussions with others are okay, but you should not ask others for the answers, nor should you provide answers to other students. It is not acceptable to post quiz questions online asking for the answers.

DGD quizzes

All DGD quizzes are closed-book. Calculators are not allowed, nor are they needed. The use of online services or websites during DGD quizzes constitutes academic fraud.
