Group Assignments
Group assignments obviously require collaboration. The above rules apply here as well, but with the word student replaced by the word group.
Detection
Collaboration is usually very noticeable by graders and surprisingly easy to confirm. The instructor will investigate the origin of similarities in cases where two distinct submissions appear to be the same in their code, even if identifiers have been renamed, comments have been changed, and so forth.
Penalties
Infringements have occurred in the past and have resulted in a range of disciplinary actions including failing grades for the course, loss of computing privileges, required public letters of apology, academic probation, required community service, suspension, and expulsion. Any perceived infractions will be referred to HMC's Judicial Board, or to the comparable unit at your home college. These agencies will then determine the appropriate penalties in consultation with your instructor.
