When you turn in a paper with your name on it, you are stating that it is your work exclusively.
Working with a partner is not an option unless otherwise specified on an assignment. Therefore, if you work too closely with someone else, and each of you turn in identical papers, you will be crossing the line into plagiarism (i.e., turning in another's work under your own name).
Signing your name to another's work constitutes plagiarism (i.e., academic dishonesty) and is a serious violation of the rules of fair play, and the consequences can be both severe and permanent. Please refer to the Student Conduct Code in the Schedule of Classes and Student Handbook for further information.
General discussion of assignments with other students, however, is a good idea and is encouraged.
If this sounds complicated and you are ever in doubt about plagiarism, please consult your instructor in advance.
