Intellectual Honesty and Plagiarism: While collaborating on homework is allowed, you must write your own solutions! Example of good collaboration: do a question independently, then cross-check solution with your friend. Example of cheating: your friend writes the solution, you blindly copy it down without any acknowledgement. If you cheat, you will get into lots of trouble. Suspected cases of cheating will be referred to the Faculty Academic Integrity Officer. Punishments can include a suspension from university for a year! It is not worth it. For details, please read the section on academic honesty in the student calendar.
