Assignments

Do not share your code/accept code from other students/web/etc. We will run an automatic software to measure the similarity of your code to the current students and previous year students. Changing variable names and spacing will not deter the software, it analizes program structure, not the program text. If there is high code similarity, the penalty is negative assignment score. This will jeopardize your chances of passing the course. You will have a much better chance of passign this score if you submit a weak but your own assignment or no assignment at all, rather than copying work from another student.

Since I have started using a program that checks for code similarity, I have been failing around 5 percent of students due to plagerism issues. Please let it be the first year when the message finally gets out and we have no one copying anyone elses code!
