During your education you conduct a large number of studies, for instance via questionnaires or interviews. It is a crucial element in the education that you are able to gather your own data. However, it is also important to weigh the need to collect own data, and all studies obviously have to comply with existing rules and good research practice. You collect data on your own responsibility, and the following guidelines specify the university's guidelines for data collection in connection with your studies.
Students are allowed to use AI-based tools for e.g. transcription or translation when collecting data.
However, you should be aware that it is your responsibility as a student to handle data responsibly with special regard to the protection of personal data.
For information on all other use of generative AI tools, please refer to the individual course descriptions.
The scope of exam assignments must be stated in terms of the number of characters including blanks.
You will always be able to find the allowed maximum number of characters in each individual course description in the course catalogue.
In May 2017 Aarhus BSS decided that all relevant exam must be anonymous. This decision includes take-home assignments where you have received individual guidance from the lecturer.
No names or student registration numbers must be written in the assignments.
Special information regarding group exams
The rules on anonymisation also apply to group exams. In group exams, however, the contribution of each individual student must still be identifiable.
You must therefore provide an overview of who has written the individual sections by using the random participant index number given automatically by WISEflow.
To find your participant index number, follow the instructions on the page Digital exam - WISEflow -> FAQ -> During the exam -> Where can I find my participant index number at anonymised exams?
The following exams are anonymous
BA level
MA level
