Academic 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 of Matlab
code is not acceptable.
