Marking assignment 1, I have noticed a fair amount of code that has quite clearly been copied and pasted from the same source. I will remind you that the University has some quite stiff penalities for plagiarism, including immediate failure of the assignment or the whole course.

Now I don’t want to have to play policeman. I am more concerned that you actually learn stuff, which you won’t do if you are just blindly copying another’s code. I am happy for you to help each other out on assignments, but plagiarism will only hurt you in the end. Remember that the Prac Exam is worth 40% of your mark in this subject. If you copy and coast now, you will find yourself high and dry in Week 13.
