You must include your name, student ID or Moodle ID, and exercise name on all work you submit.

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY PENALTIES:

You are expected to DO YOUR OWN WORK. I have several ways to help me determine if a student is submitting someone else's work. I may not catch every instance of plagarized work, but I can catch many of them. The penalties for Academic Dishonesty far exceed the penalties for submitting your work late.
