Disabilities

UNH is committed to equal opportunity for students with disabilities. The University is committed to providing students with documented disabilities equal access to all university programs and facilities. If you think you have a disability requiring accommodations, you must register with Disability Services for Students (DSS). Contact DSS at (603) 862-2607. If you have received Accommodation Letters for this course from DSS, please provide me with that information privately, in my office, so that we can review those accommodations.

What constitutes cheating in this class?

Copying and plagiarizing is cheating. However it is recognized that one learns valuable information from one's peers. Often, something is unclear from a lecture or the texts or someone understands the presented material in one way while someone else understands the material another way. Sharing this type of information is strongly encouraged. BUT ... getting a classmate to share how to solve an assigned homework problem is not permitted. Comparing answers of homework problems is not permitted.
You are allowed to search for solutions on the internet - YES......you are not misreading this, nor is this a typo. However there is one stipulation - you must think about the problem and write down your solution before you start searching on the internet. When you turn in your assignment, mark out your solution attempt and the solution you arrived at after searching the internet. Do not forget - plagiarizing is not allowed. Once you find a solution on the internet, write it down in your words (code). Passing off someone else's words and/or code as yours is cheating.
The basic rule to follow is to ask your instructor if you are in doubt.
Any work handed in to be graded must have been written entirely by you. The only exception is: when specified by the instructor that working together in teams is allowed. In this case, all work must have been written entirely by you and your team members.
Any suspected violations of the rules will be handled in accordance with the guidelines set forward in the Student Rights, Rules, and Responsibilities handbook. In short, if you violate the rules, you will get a 0 on the assignment/exam in question.
