Academic honesty and plagiarism: (Below is just a sample)

Assignments are individual tasks and NOT group ac vi es (UNLESS EXPLICITLY INDICATED AS GROUP ACTIVITIES)
Copying of work (texts, simula on results etc.) from other students/groups or from other sources is not allowed. Brief
quota ons are allowed and then only if indicated as such. Exis ng texts should be reformulated with your own words
used to explain what you have read. It is not acceptable to retype exis ng texts and just acknowledge the source as a
reference. Be warned: students who submit copied work will obtain a mark of zero for the assignment and disciplinary
steps may be taken by the Faculty. It is also unacceptable to do somebody else’s work, to lend your work to them or to
make your work available to them to copy.

Other addi onal informa on (Course policy, any specific instruc on etc.):
• A endance is compulsory and will be taken in every course mee ng. Students with less than 80% total
a endance are not allowed to sit for final examina on.
• Students are required to behave and follow the dressing regula on and e que e as stated in University
regula on while in class.
• Assignments must be submi ed on due date. Late submission shall not be accepted and will no be graded.
