The Honor Principle

On Exams: Students may not give or receive assistance of any kind on an exam from any person except for the instructor or someone explicitly designated by the instructor to answer questions about the exam.

On Homework: Collaboration and discussion is encouraged, and you may discuss problems with instructors, tutors, and fellow students, and use notes, books, calculators, and computing devices. However, each student is to complete his or her assignments individually and independently.
