Guidelines for prevention of cheating
it is important that you pay attention to the rules that apply, so that you avoid suspicion of cheating and plagiarism.
When referring to or reproducing material from curriculum books, other books, journal articles, own or other publications, websites or other sources, you must make a note of this in your exam submission. Make a brief note to the source in the text, as well as adding an alphabetical and complete source reference list at the end of the assignment. We recommend that you read the library's web site about good source usage when writing a paper.
For short home exams that last less than one day, it is not expected that you spend a lot of time referring to sources. But when using direct quotations, it is important that you refer to the source and follow the guidelines given by the teacher. If other instructions are not given, it is enough to write e.g. Per Knudsen, 2019 p. 45. All sources must be stated in the bibliography at the end.
Although it is not expected that you spend a lot of time on source citation, it is important that the work you hand in is your own. If the work is someone else's, it must be noted in the text and bibliography, otherwise it can be considered as plagiarism.
All home exams and assignments are sent to the text recognition program Urkund.
We ask you to pay particular attention to HVL's guidelines for prevention of cheating.
