Categories of Assignments
In each of your classes, your faculty may use categories to designate if you may receive assistance on a particular assignment. Please see the following categories and look for them on your syllabi for more information. If there is a question regarding the categories, your faculty should be your first point of contact, as they determine the category assignments.
Category A
An individual assignment. You may not receive help from anyone on this assignment. It must be 100% your own work. All questions concerning this assignment should be addressed to your professor. It is an honor code offense to give or receive any assistance on this assignment.
Category B – A group assignment.
Your group may not receive help from anyone outside your group. All questions concerning this assignment should be addressed to your professor. It is an honor code offense to give help to other groups and individuals or receive assistance from other groups and individuals.
Category C – An individual assignment
You may work with others or receive help from a tutor on this assignment. You must, however, turn in your own original paper. You may not divide the work with others or copy another student’s paper. It would be an honor code offense to do so.
Category D – A group assignment
You may share information, discuss general concepts and approaches to the assignment with other groups. You may get help from a tutor. Each group must turn in their own work. You may not copy another group’s work. It would be an honor code offense to do so.
Category E – A timed assignment
You are given a specific length of time within which the work must be completed. It is an honor code offense to violate this time restriction without permission from your professor.
