+in communications with TAs and the instructor.
+
+In addition, individuals are expected to show respect for the
+intellectual contributions of others through citation. The essence of
+academic life revolves around respect not only for the ideas of
+others, but also their rights to those ideas. It is therefore
+essential that we take the utmost care that the ideas (and the
+expressions of those ideas) of others always be handled appropriately,
+and, where necessary, cited. This is an issue of [Citational
+Justice](nature.com/articles/d41586-022-00793-1), and a core value of
+this course.
+
+When ideas or materials of others are
+used (particularly in your creative projects), they must be cited. The
+citation format is not that important - as long as the source material
+can be located and the citation verified, it's OK. In any situation,
+if you have a question, please feel free to ask. Here are some examples of how you might use (and cite) different types of content:
+
+- Media you have created or generated yourself (i.e. pictures you have created or taken yourself, text you have written yourself) do generally not require citation. However if you have published them (on a blog, in an article etc), they may belong to the publisher and require citation.
+- Images that are in the public domain (something from Wikipedia), or with a creative commons license that allows for reuse without explicit permission of the owner, require citation based on their license. Instructions on how to search for images that are fair use are [here](https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/29508?hl=en). [Creative Commons Kiwi](https://creativecommons.org/about/videos/creative-commons-kiwi/) is a really informative video on Creative Commons licensing; and here are [best practices](https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/Best_practices_for_attribution) for citing Creative Commons works.
+- If you are writing some text (a paper, analysis, etc), you can use quotes as long as you give attribution to the sources of the quote. You can not write an entire document out of the quotes of others, or include copied text with no citations. The citation format is not that important - as long as the source material can be located and the citation verified (a url in a comment is generally fine), it's OK.
+- If you are writing code, clearly indicate (e.g. with comments) which portions of your code are completely original and which are used or modified from external sources, if any code is used that builds off of/is inspired by external sources (e.g. adaption of an example exercise, online tutorial you find). Note that solely changing identifier names or rearranging other source material is not considered your original work - see the examples of appropriate use below for details.
-# Application Content
-
-## School Appropriateness of Content
+Some examples of appropriate use:
+- A student finds a blog post explaining why and how to address WCAG guidelines. They rewrite much of it in their own words, but for a few sections that are particularly clear, they copy the information, put it in quotations, and name the source and provide a link to it right next to the quote.
+- A student closely follows a tutorial to understand a new concept in Android Development (e.g. animations). The student cites the tutorial they used in the file header then substantially modifies the tutorial code to include what is specified for the creative portion of the assignment, documenting which portions of the code are their own so TAs know which portions to grade (and to determine whether the material cited as being learned from the tutorial is sufficiently adapted to be considered the student’s own work).
+- A student is having difficulty generating audio from text for an accessibility feature of an app they are building. They look for a solution and find an app very similar to the one they intend to build. They fork it, and modify it for their final project, and documents this with a comment that includes where it was found. When grading the app, the instructional staff may weight features that were provided by the original source less than features that the student added themselves.
-Recall that one of our course policies is to engender an

+# Collaboration Policies
-## Copyright and Citations
+In this class, are encouraged to discuss class material, including
+assignments, lecture material and readings with your classmates. Even
+better if this takes place on Ed where other students can benefit and
+we can guide you as to what is supportive and what crosses the line to
+too much sharing.
+
+Some assignments are individual. Even when as assignment is
+individual, you **may discuss homework assignments with other
+students** (i.e. provide advice, brainstorm) as long your writing
+and/or implementation is entirely your own, and you document what you
+do. You may also look at other sources online to learn how to achieve
+new things, but we expect you to document this, and it may impact the
+credit you get for your work. You should never copy (plagiarize) from
+another person in this school (past or present) or from material that
+you find online directly and submit it as your own work.
+
+To facilitate this, and to be very clear
+- You **may not use code or writing directly from any external
+ sources** (including copying lecture/lab material directly into an
+ assignment) without appropriately crediting the source as described above in <q>Honesty and Respect in Communications</q>
+- You must credit a classmate when their advice had a significant intellectual impact on what you did

-# Collaboration Policies
-
-> As a teacher, it’s not my goal in life to read a class’ worth of
-> programs on a topic that all basically look the same. My goal is
-> to assess whether you understand the material that we’ve taught in
-> class enough, and you demonstrate that to me through the work you
-> do. I can not assess that if you are turning in someone else’s
-> work.
-> - Dr. Tom Butler, Lakeside H.S.
-
-Computer science education is odd in that we expect you to turn in
-work that you do completely independently when in the
-"real world" that’s not how it works at all. In the real
-world, co-workers collaborate, bounce ideas off each other, they
-look up parts of solutions on the internet. But in the "real
-world" the people doing the work have years of experience,
-they have proved themselves to their teachers, co-workers and
-bosses to where they are at that moment and most importantly, they
-know <strong>how to evaluate which of the solutions they are
-receiving is an appropriate one to solve the task at hand.</strong>
-
-As your instructor, I need to be able to evaluate
-<strong>your</strong> work. Thus, unless otherwise specified all
-work in this and other CS classes must be your own. We realize you
-may look at other sources online to learn how to achieve new things, but we expect
-you to synthesize this information and not copy it directly. You
-should never copy (plagiarize) homework or code from another person
-in this school (past or present) or that you find online directly
-and submit it as your own work.
-
-All programming assignments must be completed individually. However,
-you **may discuss homework assignments with other students**
-(i.e. provide advice on difficult concepts, *etc*) and are encouraged
-to discuss class material, such as section exercises, lecture
-material, readings, etc. Even better if this takes place on Ed where other students can benefit and we can guide you as to what is supportive and what crosses the line to too much sharing. You may also discuss Creative Projects with
-other students, as long as the code you write is entirely your own,
-and discussion with students on Creative Projects should never involve
-details of how to code a solution. Specifically, you must abide by the
-following:
-
-- You **may not use code directly from any external sources** (including copying lecture/lab material directly into a programming assignments).
-- You may not post your homework solutions on a publicly accessible (non-password-protected) web server or Git repository, during the course or after it has been completed. Please see the course website for acceptable ways to show your work to others.
-- You may not look at or use prior solutions from any source.
-- You must document substantive discussions (i.e. when a classmate's advice helped you with a difficult concept)
-- You may not provide a classmate with actual code or with step-by-step instructions
-
-In short: you should think of most assignments in this class as assessments and as such, complete them independently - unless otherwise told.
-
-Under our policy, a student who gives inappropriate help is
-equally guilty with one who receives it. Instead of providing such
-help to a classmate, point them to other class resources such as
-lecture examples, OH, or a TA. You must take reasonable steps
-to ensure that your work is not copied by others, such as making
-sure to log out or lock shared computers, not leaving printouts of
-your code in public places, and not emailing code to other
-students or posting it on the web or public forums.
-
-We enforce our policies by running detection software during the
-quarter over all programs, including ones from past quarters.
-Please contact us if you are unsure whether a particular behavior
-falls within our policy.
-
-## If you make use of a source, or advice from a classmate
-
-Some portions of our projects will have a creative aspect to them. On occasion students may wish to use portions of sample code that has been obtained on our course website or others. In order to avoid academic misconduct for a Creative portion of your projects you must:
-
-- Ensure that substantive original work is submitted that can be evaluated by the course staff.
-- Cite the ideas or materials of others that are used. The citation format is not that important - as long as the source material can be located and the citation verified (a url in a comment is generally fine), it's OK.
-- Clearly indicate (e.g. with comments) which portions of your code are completely original and which are used or modified from external sources, if any code is used that builds off of/is inspired by external sources (e.g. adaption of an example exercise, online tutorial you find). We will only grade your original work. Note that solely changing identifier names or rearranging other source material is not considered your original work - see the examples of appropriate use below for details.
-
-A good analogy to this is if you were writing a history paper: You can use quotes in your paper as long as you give attribution to the sources of the quote, but you can not write a history paper out of the quotes of others (particularly with no citations).
+# Appropriateness
-Some examples of appropriate use:
-
-- A student closely follows a tutorial to understand a new concept in Android Development (e.g. animations). The student cites the tutorial they used in the file header then substantially modifies the tutorial code to include what is specified for the creative portion of the assignment, documenting which portions of the code are their own so TAs know which portions to grade (and to determine whether the material cited as being learned from the tutorial is sufficiently adapted to be considered the student’s own work).
-- A student is having difficulty styling their website. They look for a solution and find one on a site such as Stack Overflow. The student uses the code they find in their solution, documents that small piece of code was not their own with a comment that includes where it was found. The TAs will not use that portion of the code in grading.
-
-Students with questions about any specific situation should ask the instructor for clarification.
-
-# Privacy
+Recall that one of our course policies is to engender an
+inclusive environment. As such it is important that you are thoughtful about
+what you say or write. Please make sure that
+images and text you are using are <q>school appropriate</q> and follow
+the guidelines of expected behavior. If you have any questions,
+please do not hesitate to ask the TA or your instructor. Inappropriate work
+submitted may be ineligible for credit on that assignment.
-To support an academic environment of rigorous discussion and open
-expression of personal thoughts and feelings, we, as members of
-the academic community, must be committed to the inviolate right
-of privacy of our student and instructor colleagues. As a result,
-we must forego sharing personally identifiable information about
-any member of our community including information about the ideas
-they express, their families, lifestyles and their political and
-social affiliations. If you have any questions regarding whether a
-disclosure you wish to make regarding anyone in this course or in
-the university community violates that person's privacy interests,
-please feel free to ask the instructor for guidance.
+# Consequences
Knowingly violating any of these principles of academic conduct,
privacy or copyright may result in University disciplinary action
