Pleаse cоnfirm thаt yоu hаve read and understоod the following message sent by Professor Galil, while he was still Dean Galil: From: "Galil, Zvi" Subject: [Oms-fac] Note for OMS students Date: March 14, 2017 at 11:45:51 AM EDT To: "omscs-official@cc.gatech.edu" Hello OMS CS students, Most of my messages to you are about great news concerning the College or OMS CS. Unfortunately today’s note is a bit more serious, and it’s one I hope all of you read and take to heart. It’s come to my attention that incidents of plagiarism are rising among our OMS student population, and as a community we must not only reverse this trend but eliminate it. It should go without saying that when you present someone else’s work as your own, you are violating Georgia Tech’s Academic Honor Code (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., and this will not be tolerated. It could even impact your career. One particular source of concern is when students post their assignments publicly on Github (or similar services) and leave them there—even after they graduate. Other students find this code, and some have copied it for their own assignments. All of you should be aware that we use sophisticated software to compare your work to what is “out there” on the web, and it is as easy for us to detect plagiarism of this kind as it is dangerous for you to engage in it. The simple message is: Don’t do it. And for the students who utilize Github as a professional portfolio, you should know that if an investigation reveals your code has been used in someone else’s assignment, you will be implicated in the situation and asked questions. If you’d like to avoid this headache, consider limiting access to your Github repository. Tomorrow I’ll send a much more positive message about more great press OMS CS has received recently. The reason we get this good coverage is that Georgia Tech and OMS CS enjoy a sterling academic reputation, and one cornerstone of that reputation is academic integrity. Please help us maintain and nurture that reputation. Thanks for your help! Zvi Galil John P. Imlay Jr. Dean of Computing
