I use GitHub to help teach my class. I use +private repositories to share homework and code with students and I +leverage pull requests to code review the students' submissions. This +material, however, is copyrighted by myself and NYU and I make explicit to +students that this material should not be copied into other repositories +and publicly posted online. This is to help avoid academic dishonesty in +cheating (copying past homework submissions). + +GitHub user CHRISlvZHANG has two repositories which violate this copyright. + +https://github.com/CHRISlvZHANG/CS9053-Java +and +https://github.com/CHRISlvZHANG/Java-NYU-Course-Lab-Series + +They are in fact copies of other students work (who have not agreed to this +posting, one of which has logged a complaint already with GitHub, +user [Private]). + +The user in question, CHRISlvZHANG, does not have a public email associated +with his account.
