| Feb 21, 2015 at 6:30 | comment | added | Ramrod | I recommend that you check your university policy to confirm that you, as a student, retain copyright to your work. (Unfortunately, you can't assume that you do.) If you do, I would tell the professor you are not interested in the money, so there is no agreement of trading for your code. Next, if you retain copyright, I would submit a working piece of code with the copyright symbol affixed in the first line. (Not necessary, but recommended.) If you're not comfortable with this I would definitely approach the department head. | |

| Feb 20, 2015 at 5:37 | comment | added | mako | I agree that there are big ethical issues here but I disagree with (2) that there is no opportunity for learning. In fact, this sounds like a more useful and realistic learning opportunity than most class assignments. | |
