Students can talk freely with others within their team about the project, but not with those from other
teams. Reference materials from the course (text, etc) are allowed, but we would not want them using
coursework submitted by prior students.

As a general rule:
Students are responsible for submitting original work that reflects their own effort and interpretation.
Remember that any submission should be your own work and should not be copied in part or verbatim from
any other source whether external or internal.
An honour code violation is an honour code violation. A violation under coding scheme 0N is not less severe
than others. A 0N coding scheme submission is judged against a 0N coding scheme, and a 4N coding
scheme submission is judged against a 4N coding scheme; therefore, any honour code violation is equally
severe irrespective of the coding scheme of the submission.
Students can discuss cases and assignments with the course instructor and the Academic Associate for the
course.
Required and recommended textbooks for the course and the course pack can be used to answer any
individual or group assignment.
Although not all submissions may be subject to academic plagiarism checker (e.g. turn-it-in), in retrospect,
if the Honour Code committee feels the need, any of the previous submissions of an individual or a group
can be subjected to turn-it-in or any other academic plagiarism checker technology.
When in doubt, the student should contact the instructor for clarifications.
