Academic Honor Principle
On written assignments, including exams: Feel free to brainstorm with fellow students, Teaching Assistants, or your instructors. However, when you sit down to write your responses or your paper, you must do so on your own and in your own words. The end result is that we expect written responses and papers to be unique pieces of writing. No exchanges of electronic files are permitted.
