Quiz

1:Are you allowed to quote other people’s texts in your exam paper without indicating where the text comes from?

Answer:

1: Yes, I am allowed to do that. It was my own idea to use the specific text because it was important to my exam paper, so I can just copy the text and put it in my exam paper.

2: No, I am not allowed to do that, so I write the name of the author.

3: No, I am not allowed to do that. It is a direct quote and I therefore clearly mark it by using e.g. italics and making a reference to the author, book and page number.

2: Are you allowed to use a reworked version of conclusions etc. from your teacher’s slides in your exam paper?

Answer:

1: Yes, I am allowed to do that. I do not have to make a reference to the teaching material, because the teacher knows his/her own material and knows that the conclusions are not mine.

2: Yes, I am allowed to do that as long as I remember to make a reference to indicate that the text is based on material from the teacher.

3: No, I am not allowed to do that. I have to produce my own conclusions.

3: Are you allowed to use text from a previously assessed exam paper in a new exam paper?

Answer:

1: No, not under any circumstances.

2: Yes, of course. I have written the text, and I do not have to make a reference to myself.

3: Yes, but only if I make a reference to my old exam paper, so it is clear to the examiner that the text has been part of a previous assessment.

4: During an on-site written exam, are you allowed to text with your friends about where to meet when the exam is over?

Answer:

1: Yes, I am allowed to do that. I am not receiving any help or anything else connected to the exam paper, so that does not mean anything.

2: No, all forms of communication during an on-site written exam are strictly prohibited. This is also the case even though the communication has nothing to do with the exam.

3: It all depends on when we text. During the last 30 minutes of the on-site written exam, the rules concerning possible interruptions are more strict, and therefore it is not allowed to text during this time.

5: Are you allowed to write an exam paper for an individual examination in cooperation with a fellow student?

Answer:

1: No. In case of an individual examination, I must write the exam paper myself.

2: Yes, that is not an issue, it just makes the exam paper even better.

3: Yes, of course. We split the assignment between us and exchange text pieces – that way we will finish sooner.

6: Are you allowed to bring your own notes to an on-site written exam where no materials are permitted?

Answer:

1: Yes, I am allowed to do that. I just have to put them in my bag before the exam starts, so the exam supervisors can see that I am not cheating.

2: Yes, I am allowed to do that. As long as I do not look at them during the exam, I can leave them on my desk.

3: No, never.

7: Are you allowed to leave parts of the collected data out in your exam paper, if the data do not support the hypothesis you have formulated.

Answer:

1: No, never. That would be manipulation of data.

2: Yes, of course. No one can see that I have not included all the collected data in my exam paper.

3: That depends on whether the number of elements which are left out, does not exceed a lower threshold limit of five.

8: Are you allowed to sit the exam if you have seen the exam assignment before the exam by mistake?

Answer:

1: Yes, I was just lucky and therefore it is a lot easier for me to prepare for the exam.

2: No. I must inform a member of university staff about it and I will be offered a new chance to sit the exam.

3: Yes, and I also share the exam assignment with my fellow students, so we all sit the exam based on the same conditions, because then nobody is cheating.

9: Are you allowed to sign a course participants list on behalf of a fellow student if the teaching is compulsory?

Answer:

1: No, never.

2: Yes, of course. My fellow student is just away for a few minutes, so I can sign the list on his/her behalf.

3: Yes, I do not see the harm in that. Besides, I have not seen my fellow student today, but we are only allowed to be absent from three lessons, so I will just sign the list on his/her behalf just in case.

10: Are you allowed to upload your exam paper from home in connection with an on-site written exam?

Answer:

1: Yes, if I can access the exam assignment from home, I can of course also just upload my exam paper from home.

2: No, never. At on-site written exams, you must always be present.

3: Yes. As long as I am present when the on-site written exam begins, I am allowed to continue to work on my exam paper afterwards at home, as long as I upload the exam paper before the deadline for submission.
