Practical Advise

Registration:
You need to register for all of our courses and exams in advance. If nothing else is mentioned use wwwTopi for registration. Register before two weeks of a course has passed. For exams you need to register at least a week in advance. Lack of registration may lead to disqualfication.

Assigments:
Late returns, if accepted, lead to reduction of the grade.

  • Deadline policy - what happens if you return your home assignment too late.

    • Assignments and other partial completions of a course are valid for a year from the beginning of the course, usually this means the time untill the course starts again. In special cases the course personel may accept older work, but this must be discussed with the personel.

    Assignments need to be self-written. Copying parts or a whole assignment is cheating resulting to failing the assignment. Also presenting results developed by someone else as your own is cheating, no matter how much the sentence stucture has been modified. The reason for failure is reported to the department office and if cheating is continued the results will be more severe. There's plenty of information about plagiarism and how to avoid it in the Internet, here's one page. How to avoid plagiarism?

    All the sources used in an assignment must be clearly marked. Quotations may be used but they must be clearly marked as such.

    Exams:
    There is an archive of old exams. Remember that the requirements of a course may have changed over the years.

    All courses are required to have at least two exams per year, though most courses will have four exams. Exam arrangements are coordinated by the departments student advisory office. The exams of this lab are collected to an exam list, but please check the validity of this information from the wwwTopi.

    The university's advise considering valuables during an exam.

    Wishes for summer exams are collected in May to lists by the student advisory office. A summer exam is arranged if there are enough people wanting to participate. (at least 10)
