Rules of Conduct

1. Show respect for others in the laboratory rooms

Be at your lab session in time. If you do not show up in time your seat may be given to a group that has asked for an extra lab session

If you are about to have a lab session, and have a pass card for the lab room door, do not enter the lab room until the assistants tell you to.

If you are in the lab room when another lab session is about to begin, leave the room when the assistants tell you to.

Before you ask a lab assistant for help with a programming problem make sure that you have read all necessary instructions in the lab PM and that you follow the software design guidelines advocated by the course material.

If you would like to attend an additional lab session, for which you are not scheduled, let us know in advance so we can tell you if it is possible. If we can accommodate non-scheduled groups we will use a first-come-first-served policy, with priority given to those who give advance notification. During the lab session scheduled groups will always get highest priority regarding access to the lab assistants and the lab equipment.

2. Refrain from cheating

We will report all cases of suspected cheating to the Chalmers Disciplinary Committee for further investigation. In the worst case, this can lead to the student's exclusion from services such as lectures, computer rooms and exams. Please help us to avoid this to happen! 

Here follow the rules of cooperation between students in this course:

Students are allowed to orally discuss general principles of the laboratory assignment with one another.

Students should work in project groups of size two. Once you have cooperated on an assignment with a particular person, you must submit your answer to that assignment together with that person, and can not cooperate with anyone else.

Apart from your own lab partner, you are not allowed to share any piece of code with another student, by any means. Examples of ways which you cannot use to share code are: e-mailing code, printing out your code and giving it on paper, stealing other people's print-outs, faxing, dictating code over the phone, copying files with or without permission, reading someone else's email, reusing code from the web, etc. Remember: it is equally wrong to give your code to another student as it is to use another student's code.

It is possible that exceptions to these rules are granted, but only if you talk to the course examiner as soon as the problem arises.
