20.109(F11):Statement on Collaboration and Integrity

All documentation of your experiments must be written entirely by you. Thus, while we encourage you to discuss your results with your lab partner and other classmates, you may not share text or figures. Please do not plagiarize (accidentally or otherwise) the class wiki (from this year or from other versions of the class), or any other writing/images available online or elsewhere. Note that plagiarism is often unintentional, and take the responsibility now to learn the difference between appropriate paraphrasing and academic dishonesty. The following links may help you in this endeavor:

• MIT Libraries Overview on Citation. In particular, look at:
  • Brief paraphrasing example
  • A few paraphrasing examples and guidelines
• MIT Policies and Procedures for Dealing with Academic Dishonesty.
