Academic IntegrityAcademic Integrity: The following quote from Prof. Taggart's Egr106 web site applies. According to URI's policy on academic integrity, "cheating is the claiming of credit for work not done independently." While students are encouraged to help each other in completing homework assignments, each student is expected to submit work that they have developed on their own. Submission of duplicate copies is not acceptable.

If you use someone else's work, you have to gettheir permission and acknowledge it on the workand in the your report and presentation.
