Students should know where to draw the line between getting legitimate outside assistance with course material and outright cheating. Students who obtain too much assistance without learning the material ultimately cheat themselves the most. Submitting the work of another person as your own (i.e., plagiarism) constitutes academic misconduct, as does communication with others (either as donor or recipient) in ways other than those permitted for assignments and exams. Such actions will not be tolerated. All offences will be reported to the Department of Informatics, University of Zurich.
For more information on the treatment of plagiarism at UZH, please refer to the Information Sheet on the Treatment of Plagiarism.
