Questions or Comments? You can send questions or comments anonymously to any of the course staff using this anonymous form. As it is completely anonymous, consider using regular e-mail if you require a personal answer.

Academic Integrity and Collaboration: All assignments are to be done individually. It is completely acceptable to ask for assistance if you need it, but, in the end, most of the work should have been done by you. For some of the lab/project/homework, we will be running similarity matching software on all submissions.

In short, don't cut corners--don't cheat.
