Great, the Cuyahoga River (Cleveland) catches fire and Boston Harbor sediment can produce power. How does this look good for American water supplies, again?
The Intro to CS class in question is a required course for ALL students at Georgia Tech, even the Architecture, History, Psychology, etc persons.
It is (now) Scheme, with the 2nd intro class (required for Comp E, EE, Industrial E, CS majors) in Java. Last semester (Fall 2001) 187 student were brought up for academic misconduct.
The actual policy for the course reads:
All assignments must reflect an individual effort, and must be completed "from scratch." It is a violation of the Honor Code to copy or derive solutions from text books, internet resources, or previous instances of this course unless specifically instructed to do so in assignment directions. When instructed to do so, all material not created by you and its source must be clearly identified. Copying solutions from other students, including those who previous took the course, is prohibited. A good guideline is that you must be able to explain and/or reproduce anything that you submit for any assignment.
Yes, reading a textbook and deriving a solution is a violation, talking to your roommate is a violation, I've talked with Deans about these issues, it's a poor way to learn, but when you have ~800 kids/semester going through the course, lines must be drawn.
