Legal Question in Intellectual Property in Tennessee

I am a graduate student currently working on coursework. I would like to post source code for programs I am writing as part of that coursework. I am the original author though I am using knowledge gotten from lectures (not source code). I would like to post selection of some of these programs on a personal blog. Some for educational and some as a portfolio of work I have completed. Is this illegal?
