Grading
  Your grades will be computed as follows: see lecture notes 1 

Academic Integrity. The work you submit in CS 414 is expected to be the result of your individual effort. You are to discuss approaches to problems, and details of the system only with your instructors, and you should never misrepresent someone else's work as your own. Permissible cooperation should never involve a student possessing a copy of all or part of another student's program or other work regardless of whether that copy is on paper or in a computer file on a hard disk or a floppy disk. The only exception to these rules is when two students work together to submit a joint project. 

It is also the student's responsibility to protect his/her work from unauthorized access. For example, do not discard copies of your programs in public places. 

Violation of the Academic Integrity Code very often results in failure in the course and permanent notations on your Cornell academic records. If you have any question as to what constitutes ethical behavior, ask the instructor first. We will not be sympathetic to claims of ignorance or misunderstanding of the rules.
