In short, do not cheat. Any policies of the CBTF are the policies of this course, and academic integrity infractions related to the CBTF are infractions in this course. In addition to the Academic Integrity policies outlined by the CBTF, STAT 510 will hold itself to a higher standard.
Even with the use of the CBTF Online, we will not easily be able to detect all cheating. If we do detect cheating, that means it will have been an extremely flagrant violation and we will seek the maximum possible punishment which at minimum would be a failing grade for the course. PrairieLearn will ask you to accept an “honor code” at the start of the exam. You have been warned. Act accordingly.
Because you are using your own computer for this exam, you should be sure that your R and RStudio are setup and ready to go.
