The syllabus/schedule has been revised. Labs marked in red are from the book. Their numbering doesn't quite match that of our labs, but the TCP lab is lab 9, the NAT/DHCP lab is lab 10, lab 11 is DNS, and SNMP is lab 12.

Academic Honesty and Integrity

  
 
 

In recent years, there has been an increased number of cheating incidents in many UC campuses, and unfortunately, UCSC is no exception. The School of Engineering has a zero tolerance policy for any incident of academic dishonesty. If cheating occurs, there may be consequences within the context of the course, and in addition, every case of academic dishonesty is referred to the students' college Provost, who then sets the disciplinary process in motion. Cheating in any part of the course may lead to failing the course and suspension or dismissal from the university.

What is cheating? In short, it is presenting someone else's work as your own. Examples would include copying another student's written or electronic homework assignment, or allowing your own work to be copied. Although you may discuss problems with fellow students, your collaboration must be at the level of ideas only. Legitimate collaboration ends when you "lend", "borrow", or "trade" written or electronic solutions to problems, or in any way share in the act of writing or electronically sharing your answers. If you do collaborate (legitimately) or receive help from anyone, you must credit them by placing their name(s) at the top of your paper. 

What is Academic Integrity? This question is better answered with how we violate academic integrity. One prime example is fabrication. From the pages of the registrar:

Fabrication:

  • In any academic exercise, submitting falsified data including bibliographic resources and experimental data, or altering graded coursework/exams and resubmitting to the instructor for a higher score.
Another example of violating academic integrity is Facilitating Academic Dishonesty:
  • One form of this is answering questions on someone else's exam or doing someone else's homework for them.
  • Another form is helping another student take a test (allowing them to cheat from you).
