Academic Integrity Acknowledgement Form

This form is adapted from forms provided by the Office of Academic Integrity as an educational tool to help students maintain high standards of academic integrity (AI) in their work. The original versions are available online at: http://www.adm.uwaterloo.ca/infoacad/AI_Acknowledgement_Forms/index.html. Students are expected to know what constitutes AI, to avoid committing academic offences, and to take responsibility for their actions. Students who are unsure whether an action constitutes an offence, or who need help in learning how to avoid offences (e.g., plagiarism, cheating) or about 'rules' for group work / collaboration should seek guidance from the course professor(s), tutor(s) or IA(s), TA(s), academic advisor(s), or the Undergraduate Associate Dean. For information on categories of offences and types of penalties, students should refer to Policy 71, Student Discipline, http://www.adm.uwaterloo.ca/infosec/Policies/policy71.htm A student who believes that he/she has a ground to appeal a discipline decision should refer to Policy 72, Student Appeals, http://www.adm.uwaterloo.ca/infosec/Policies/policy72.htm A student who believes that a decision or action of a faculty member has been unfair or unreasonable should refer to Policy 70, Student Petitions and Grievances, http://www.adm.uwaterloo.ca/infosec/Policies/policy70.htm

Your electronic submission of the form indicates you understand UW policy and will comply with it throughout the term, including:
I will reference and footnote all ideas, words or other intellectual property from other sources used in the completion of every assignment. Each assignment will be completed by my own efforts and I will not collaborate with any other person for ideas or answers, except as noted within each submission. When submitting each assignment, please state all sources, including with whom you collaborated and what the collaboration entailed. NOTE: Collaboration is only acceptable when/as approved by your instructor in advance. I will neither give nor receive an electronic copy or a printed version of any part of the code included in any submission, except as noted within that submission. I declare that the output (including any screen captures) provided as part of any assignment will have been generated by the program code submitted. Every assignment I submit will not have been submitted (either partially or entirely) for academic evaluation for any course at Waterloo or at any other academic institution. If not, please list as part of your submission when all or part of the assignment was previously submitted, including the institution, term (year/month), course, and instructor. NOTE: Submitting partial or entire work(s) already submitted for other purposes is only acceptable when approved by your current instructor in advance for a specific assignment. Course #: CS 100
