(Class starts..)
INSTRUCTOR:
(Instructor is teaching and discussing course syllabus in the
first day of class..)
In this course we will have three exams including one final take-home
exam. In the scholar I have updated daily schedule and first homework
set. It will be due in the next week.
We will have one homework every week, which will be due on Friday of
every week. You are allowed to work in a group. Please note that I
will strictly follow Virginia Tech's Honor code system.
INSTRUCTOR:
Yes Please, Go ahead.
STUDENT-1:
What is the late assignment submission policy?
INSTRUCTOR:
5
I will deduce 10% of marks every day for late submission. I have
mentioned about it in the syllabus. Please go through it before next
class.
(silence in class)...
Alright everybody, I will see you in next class. Have a great week.
STUDENT:1
I can't believe that homework 4 is so long. I have other assignments
to finish up. I will take forever if I did it alone.
(all laugh..)
STUDENT:2
Yes, in the starting of course I thought this course will be an easy
A grade course. Now I feel that we need to work hard to get an 'A'.
STUDENT:3
That's true. Prof. expects us to revise all the prerequisite for this
course.
STUDENT:4
I think this homework is useless. We will never use it as engineer.
We can just use online software to perform this complex calculations.
STUDENT:5
Guys, I need help. I have one midterm tomorrow. If I worked on this
homework, I won't be able to prepare for tomorrow. Do you guys mind
to send me solution for just this question?
STUDENT:#1-4
Humm..!Alright.
STUDENT:5
Thanks guys. I really appreciate it.(After sometime they all left...)

STUDENT-5:
OMG! I have a lot of work to do..and I didn't finish my assignment
for course XXX. It is due in few hours. And I have exam in the
afternoon. Nobody send me assignment question till now. It has 10%
weight to final grade.
Hi, Brother can you send me your solution for that complex solution?
OMG! I have no clue what he did. What should I do? (In nervous voice..)
(He tried to manipulate the number and notations for his submission.
He almost copied all the text from student-3 solution, without
realizing that it is honor code violation. )
