> So, um, is this cheating?

It's a really good question, but also a really silly question that no one should have to guess about. Teachers should be simply be providing explicit policies one way or the other.

I had "anything goes" assignments and "strict" assignments. For the former I didn't care. For the latter I could either tell whp if you were cheating, or else proctored the assignment.

Math is a good leader here. Sometimes you allow certain tools. Sometimes you don't. The set of tools allowed tends to increase as courses get more difficult and assignments get larger. It really just depends on what is being evaluated.
