Original Work

You are encouraged to help each other formulate the ideas behind projects and find inspiration in the literature and on the web, but each team is required to submit their own original work. Handing in work that is not your own, original work as if it is your own is plagiarism. All re-use, collaboration, inspiration must be explicitly mentioned in the assignment.
