However, we do strongly encourage students to discuss the materials covered in class. It is also acceptable to help or receive help from other students concerning features of Windows, Linux, or the UNIX operating system, or any other application that you use. It is also fine to explain to others how to use systems and tools or help them with high-level design considerations. There is a fine line between discussion and cheating. If you feel uncertain about whether you are crossing the line feel free to discuss these issues with the instructor before you do so.
