It is important that you read this cover page carefully before you start.
General information:
- Important messages during the exam are given directly from the course teacher on the course's semester page or in Canvas (if used in your course). It is therefore important that you check the course's semester page / Canvas room regularly.
- Your answer should reflect your own independent work and should be a result of your own learning and work effort.
- All sources of information are allowed for written home exams. If you reproduce a text from books, online articles, etc., a reference to these sources must be provided to avoid suspicions of plagiarism. As stated above, your answer should always reflect your own work, your understanding. This means that you need to provide your own version of the answer (and not a copy) with explanations to demonstrate your understanding. This also applies if a text is translated from other languages.
- You are responsible for ensuring that your exam answers are not available to others during the exam period, neither physically nor digitally.
- Remember that your exam answers must be anonymous; do not state either your name or that of fellow students.
- If you want to withdraw from the exam, press the hamburger menu at the top right of Inspera and select "Withdraw".

If you use notes that have been prepared in collaboration with others before the exam, this might be detected in plagiarism control. Such text similarities will be considered an attempt at cheating.
