Q: What is the definition of improper collaboration or inappropriate collaboration?
A: Improper collaboration is sharing with or receiving information from another person in regards to an academic assignment or examination that you are assumed to be working on alone for an individual grade; many schools consider this academic fraud. To avoid this issue, unless you are specifically assigned to collaborate with a group or partner, assume all academic assignments to be done individually.
Q: What is the difference between getting help from someone vs. cheating?
A: If you explain the question to someone then you should be okay because then the person still must figure out the answer (both of you are handing in separate submissions). If you simply give (or communicate in some form) your answer to a friend then this is NOT okay, even if your friend says that they will only use your solution only as a "guide" to figure out the answer and "promises" that they won't just copy it into their own paper.

Q: What is the definition of improper collaboration or inappropriate collaboration?
A: Improper collaboration is sharing with or receiving information from another person in regards to an academic assignment or examination that you are assumed to be working on alone for an individual mark; many schools consider this academic fraud. To avoid this issue, unless you are specifically assigned to collaborate with a group or partner, assume all academic assignments to be done individually.
Q: What is the difference between getting help from someone vs. cheating?
A: If you explain the question to someone then you should be okay because then the person still must figure out the answer (both of you are handing in separate submissions). If you simply give (or communicate in some form) your answer to a friend then this is NOT okay, even if your friend says that he or she will only use your solution only as a *guide* to figure out the answer and *promises* that he or she won't just copy it into their own paper.

Q: What is the difference between getting help from someone vs. cheating?
A: If you explain the question to someone then you should be okay because then the person still must figure out the answer (both of you are handing in separate submissions). If you simply give (or communicate in some form) your answer to a friend then this is NOT okay, even if your friend says that he or she will only use your solution only as a *guide* to figure out the answer and *promises* that he or she won't just copy it into their own paper.
