I had a programming teacher in high school who encouraged us to work
however we wanted, individually or in groups.  There were two
conditions:  (1) each student had to turn in a complete assignment, and
(2) he reserved the right to question anyone about anything they turned
in.  He observed us working in class enough to know whom to question.  I
know that a couple of students were busted early on; I don't know how it
all turned out in the end.
