Collaborating on or copying of tests or homework in whole or in part will be considered an act of academic dishonesty and result in a grade of 0 for that test or assignment. I encourage students to share information and ideas, but not their work.

Students seeking disability related accommodations are encouraged to also register with Disabled Students Programs and Services - you can get more information at the DSPS website.
