Academy Integrity

§ You are required to adhere to Tulane’s Code of Academic Conduct. § You may discuss homework problems with your classmates. However, what you turn in must be your own. You may not read another classmate’s solutions or copy a solution from the web. § Every cheating will be reported to the Associate Dean of Newcomb-Tulane

  • College. If two people are caught sharing solutions then both the copier and

copiee will be held equally responsible. Cheating on an exam will result in failing the course.
