body: Hypothetical Question: Do I have the right (copyright) over the code I write in my Computer Science class and thus all rights that come along with having something copyrighted?
  
  
  I was wondering if I have copyright over the code that I write for my class as I am a paid programmer I would not like for any of my code to be stored on the instructor's "secure" server. And if they refused to do so, could I send a cease and desist to have it removed?
  
  
  Edit: Yes I know this is a bit extreme, but I just want to know if I have copyright over it through intellectual property or some other way.
