Academic dishonesty includes (but not limited to) the following: 1. Giving or receiving information during an exam. 2. Unauthorized or malicious use of computing facilities. 3. Deception or misrepresentation in a student's dealing with the instructor, teaching assistant, or grader. 4. Inappropriate collaboration on or coping of homework assignments. Students are encouraged to discuss the readings with one another, even when the discussion relates to assignments. 5. Plagiarism, the submission of material authored by another person but represented as the students own work. It does not matter whether the original work author gave permission. 6. Any violation of academic integrity standards described in the student conduct code. Students are expected to be familiar with these standards. The instructor, teaching assistant, and grader will make every attempt to detect case of academic dishonesty. Refer to student handbook for complete details. Programming Assignments You will be required to design solutions to the assigned problems and then, write and debug the C++ code to implement the solution. Material discussed in the lecture, lab and covered in the textbook will be used to develop the programs. ABET Course Outcomes I. Understanding of Computer Programming concepts II.
