Copying other
students’ work (or from anybody’s solution), or letting other
students copy your work is considered dishonest and if proven will result in
and F in the course. I am sure you have already been told that this is for your
own good. You are definitely
encouraged to study in groups and discuss homework, quizzes, etc after you have
handed in your solution.
