Collaboration Policy

In general, you are fully responsible for all the work you complete in this course and should abide by Brown’s Academic Code. You are responsible for keeping your files secure, etc.

You may, however, discuss course material and assignment content at a high level with other students. You should not view anyones else’s code or take away notes from such a discussion. Thus, it would be acceptable to discuss an assigned problem with another student at a whiteboard, erase your notes and separate, then individually write code for the solution. It would not be acceptable to sit side by side with another student at your computers to discuss and simultaneously implement a solution.

We reserve the right to “wire-pull” any assignment you turn in by having you explain each part in detail. In addition, certain assignments may specify that you should not collaborate at all.
