The De Anza College Academic Integrity requirements are given at
http://www.deanza.edu/policies/academic_integrity.html

During an examination do not look at anyone else's work, in person or online, and do not communicate with others in any way.

All programming assignments are expected to be your own original code. Never give a soft copy or a hard copy of any lab assignment to another classmate or post it on the Internet where it is accessible to other students. Any copied assignments will be rejected and/or substantially marked down, if you wrote the code that was copied or you copied the code from some source or if you and someone else wrote the code jointly.

Academic Integrity is required. Violation of any of the above requirements, or any other academic integrity violation, usually results in a grade of 2 for the work, but may result in other actions specified by the college.
