As a brief introduction, I’m a student at San Jose State University, as a Computer Science major, in San Jose, CA. I had a class the last semester (Jan 2009 – May 2009) called “Data Structures and Algorithms”, taught by Dr. Beeson, where the homework was all code, submitted by a certain date to an online submission/analysis system.
Throughout the semester, I posted my correct/working code publicly (project descriptions returning sometime in the near future), after the due date, and didn’t think much of it – I thought exposing the code to the public could be helpful for some people, as well as a good employer reference for the future.
However, I was contacted by Dr. Beeson after the semester had ended (May 22, 2009), telling me to remove all public code or else he’d fail me, since he considered it a violation of the Academic Integrity standards.
