You are allowed to use toolkits and cut-and-paste sections of code. Your work has to be significantly different from classmates and existing open source works.
You need access to linux.gl.umbc.edu or some other GL machine All students must have an account on the UMBC gl machines. The projects and some homework will use the "submit" mechanism. All students must be able to access the WWW to get assignments. Use ssh -Y your-id@linux.gl.umbc.edu connection for remote use.
Your own machine may be easier for you to use than the lab computer. You can download and test and demonstrate easier on your own machine. Project and homeworks are presented and demonstrated in the classroom.

"By enrolling in this course, each student assumes the responsibilities of an active participant in UMBC's scholarly community in which everyone's academic work and behavior are to be held to the highest standards of honesty. Cheating, fabrication, plagiarism, and helping others to commit these acts are all forms of academic dishonesty, and they are wrong. Academic misconduct could result in disciplinary action that may include, but is not limited to, suspension or dismissal. To read the full Student Academic Policy, consult the UMBC Student Handbook, the Faculty Handbook, or the UMBC Policies section of the UMBC Directory."
