12. 12 Do not! Studying together to understand the material is fine, but the work you hand in is to be your own. No cheating will be tolerated: A letter grade of F will be given! You can constitute a group of maximum three students to submit assignments. You may submit a unique report for your group (of course plagiarism among assignment groups is strictly forbidden). Cheating and Plagiarism
