Prevent Copying and Pasting

I want to hand out an MS Excel investment model to my fellow students for a university assignment. I want to prevent them from copying and SPECIFICALLY PASTING when I send out the financial model. How can I do this?

I am also trying to avoid to use VBA.

Thank you in advance.

In 2 words, you can't. To elaboate a bit, XL is not very protected (search
password removal for examples of this :) ), and anything you can see on a
screen can be copied.

If you want secrets kept, don't send them to others. :)
