Cheating Policy:
Unless otherwise stated, all work submitted by you should be your own. Copying of assignments,
help taken, or given in debugging of programs, or sharing of algorithms, data, and results would
constitute cheating. Cheating is an offense and if I find assignments that are copies of each other,
all students involved will receive a zero for the assignment.
