Exercise rules
Please note the rules for exercises in this course:
- AI use is not permitted for code exercises. These are your opportunity to practice some of the basics we will need to progress through the course.
- You can use other online resources, course materials, and lab-mates for support. This being said, others are not allowed to do your work for you. Also, if you are drawing from online resources, course materials, or peers, you must cite it.
- Cite any knowledge that is not yours in a comment in the code. The internet is a huge repository of information and you are welcome to use it, but you must let us know when something does not originate from your own knowledge.
- If work has been copied without citation the exercise grade will be zero. Please make sure to include comments indicating where you had assistance or learned.
