VERY IMPORTANT---READ THIS BEFORE BEGINNING WORK ON YOUR ASSIGNMENT:

1. README file for homework assignments. If others (students, faculty, family members, Web search, etc.) assist you, you should include with the assignment a statement giving them appropriate credit, both in README and close to the affected code. If, on the other hand, you did the assignment with no assistance (with lines of code), you should say so explicitly (for example: "I did this assignment entirely on my own.") This should go in your README file. In other words, the README should explain the authorship situation.

2. Discussion of homework assignments. Within reasonable limits I do not object, if you discuss assignments with others, verbally or via email. Email to me or the Google group is encouraged. You should NOT however be looking at other people's code or old class solutions, or showing others your code or other detailed work.

3. You are expected to make reasonable efforts to ensure the security of your work. For instance, do not leave hardcopy lying around the lab. If your work is copied by another, the assumption is that you are cheating.

4. Do your work under your provided cs444 directory. It will be set up with appropriate protections--they should not be changed. Other students will not be able to see your homework files, but the grader and instructor can, for grading purposes.
