A note about cheating (plagiarism)

Sharing ideas between groups is very recommended. Plagiarising code as part of a project will not be tolerated — whatever the source.

In case of cheating, you will receive the grade “NA” (not acquired, zero) for the concerned project or exam, or for the whole course. You may furthermore be denounced and punished in accordance with the ordonnance sur la discipline.

If you are in any fashion worried about this, speak with an assistant.
