Originality of Assignment Submissions

Most courses offered by the School of Computer Science and Engineering require students to submit assignments for assessment in the form of a file containing their solution. Every student is provided with an account which to work and the student is totally responsible for all uses of the account. In order not to be the victim of dishonest or mischievous actions by others, you should:

1. Not allow any other person to log on to your account (your password should remain known only to yourself).
2. Not leave listings of partial or complete assignment solutions lying around -- take them home and dispose of them there.
3. Politely but firmly deny requests to `borrow' solutions, or to mail files to another account.
