(Also, here are some helpful Guidelines from last year's TA, which are still relevant.)
No collaboration or discussion of questions on the midterms or on the final exam is allowed (other than discussion with me). In contrast, I have no objection to your discussing the homework problems among yourselves (as well as with me). However, this discussion should be limited to an exchange of ideas concerning what approaches do and do not work. Under no circumstances should you show your work to any other student, or in any other way provide detailed information concerning your solutions.
Students are expected to maintain the highest level of academic integrity. You should be familiar with the university policy on academic integrity. Violations will be reported and enforced according to this policy. Here is additional information about the enforcement policy, and other resources available to you.
Use of external website resources such as Chegg.com or others to obtain solutions to homework assignments, quizzes, or exams is cheating and a violation of the University Academic Integrity policy. Cheating in the course may result in grade penalties, disciplinary sanctions or educational sanctions. Posting homework assignments, or exams, to external sites without the instructor's permission may be a violation of copyright and may constitute the facilitation of dishonesty, which may result in the same penalties as plain cheating.
Students will need to acknowledge the Rutgers Honor Pledge on every major
exam assignment as follows:
On my honor, I have neither received nor given any unauthorized
assistance on this examination/assignment.
Learning remotely presents new challenges. For assistance with learning how to address these challenges, please consult the resources available here. The faculty and staff at Rutgers are committed to your success. Students who are successful tend to seek out resources that enable them to excel academically, maintain their health and wellness, prepare for future careers, navigate college life and finances, and connect with the RU community. Resources that can help you succeed and connect with the Rutgers community can be found at success.rutgers.edu and nearly all services and resources that are typically provided in-person are now available remotely.
