So, /g/, my professor just lowered my mark on a home assignment

explain everything in it and why you chose to do certain things

Give it back, Tyrone.

Some background:
The assignment was to get the original number dialed from a DTMF tone sequence, in MATLAB. It did not have to be automatic, you could separate each tone manually and extract the frequencies from the fft graph manually, but I made it fully automatic

He wouldn't listen to any reasoning

>Matlab
I would copy and paste too If I was stuck doing that shit

Do you have some academic review board or something?

>>60811189
Most schools have a whole staff for Academic Misconduct. Bring it up with them.

Either he's just a cunt or he's pissed off because you did it better than him.

So either way he's just a cunt.

What happens if you get an assignment and easiest, most secure and most efficient solution to the problem is right on the front page of stackoverflow? You have to come up with a shittier one in order to not fail?

>>60811248
are you assuming that's what would happen or did you actually try to explain what you did line by line and why you did it and how/why it works?

>You have to come up with a shittier one in order to not fail?
You just have to follow the standard taught to you by the professor and never deviate from it in any way or else it's cheating

>>60812086
rally any other comp sci profs that know you and do this. get him fired

Stackoverflow questions are usually along the lines of "how do I do very specific task X in context Y". Assignments are usually "write a program to do Z". While writing your program you might realise you have to do X, in context Y' or even directly in context Y, get stuck, search for help on stackoverflow - if your context is Y', you adapt the SO solution and you're good. If your context is Y and matches the question very closely, usually you'll be fine anyway - it's going to be one-two lines of code, and the names of all the variables and functions are going to be different.

On the other hand, if your assignment is "do X in context Y", well, there are only so many ways to do that, they can't prove you didn't come up with it on your own even if you directly copied it from stack overflow. Provided you can explain what your code does, it's all good. (This weeds out the dumb copy-pasters, because those will grab the code from SO without understanding it, and that's bad and immediately noticeable. You can't write code you don't understand, unless it's some really convoluted process that you don't expect to work but it magically works, but that's really rare.)

He just claimed he has seen similar code in other people's work. When he couldn't find any similar solution, as I think I was the only one to make it fully automatic he said it reminds him of solutions from previous courses.

jesus fuck how did he become a professor
