CMPUT429/CMPE382 Honor Code
By turning the solution of the homework for grading, I certify that Ihave worked all the solutions on my own, that I have not copied ortranscribed solutions from a classmate, someone outside the class,or from any other source. I also certify that I have not facilitated orallowed any of my classmates to copy my own solutions.
I am aware that the violation of this honor code constitutes a breach ofthe trust granted me by the teaching staff, compromises my reputation,and subjects me to the penalties prescribed in Section 26.1 of theUniversity of Alberta 2001/2002 Calendar.
I am aware that students are encouraged to discuss the material covered in the class and to work examples together. However, the joint solution of problems assigned as individual homework exercises is not allowed.
