Understanding what you are responsible for as a student is the first step to avoiding academic misconduct. There are many resources on campus and online that can help you make sure you are acting with academic integrity.
Talk to your instructor
They can tell you if things like collaborating on an assignment or looking at an old test are considered misconduct. They will appreciate that you asked.
