Please note that group study for working out solutions to homework problems is acceptable, and helpful to many students. However, the homework and Workshop reports you turn in should be written out on your own, and not copied verbatim from another student's work or from the material found Online. It should reflect your understanding of the material. Homework or Reports which are turned in and found to be verbatim copies of each other will be given zero credit, regardless of which is the original work. All work on an exam is to be entirely on your own.
