No Cheating!
Cheating will result 0% on the assignment or ‘F’ in this class
So get your hands dirty Do your own lab Write your own report Paraphrase in your lab report
Having said that, I encourage group study/discussion, but … Don’t read/debug somebody else scripts
Bottom Line No more calls to the
technical support Geek-only party
conversation Power-Linux users Resume looks good Get a job easier! Homepage looks
professional Know some hackings Will be able to do this Have fun
