Ethics Statement
As a student at Johns Hopkins University, you pledge to uphold the highest standard of academic integrity and you are expected to follow the University's guidelines regarding ethical behavior.
The homework assignments must be done on your own without consultation or help from the textbook problem solution manuals, problem solutions from students that have taken the course previous years, or the solutions that have been posted on a course website, either here at Johns Hopkins in a website of another University. If you think it is helpful and if they exist, you may check the answers to the problems at the back of the book but NOT in the problem solution instructors manual companion to the textbook.
During the laboratory sessions you must conduct yourself in a professional manner to ensure that you are not the cause of an incident which may in turn harm you, harm your fellow students, or damage the equipment. If you have any questions about laboratory protocols please ask the instructor or the teaching assistants for help.
In this particular course you are allowed to discuss the pre-laboratory assignments with other fellow students. The laboratory reports must be done on your own without collaboration and without reference to notes taken during the group discussion. During examinations you are expected to work on your own, and in accordance to specific instructions given to you.
Any violation of the above will be considered unethical behavior and will be reported to the office of academic affairs for further action. For more information on ethics at Johns Hopkins University please consult:
