Relativ betygssättning innebär att:
• Prestationen bedöms/rangordnas i förhållande till andras prestationer
(i gruppen)

Studying with disability
All disabilities are individual and affect the opportunity to study in different ways. That
is why all pedagogical assistance is individually adapted.
It is important that you get in touch with a coordinator for students with disabilities
as soon as possible even when you are still at the stage of considering what to study.
This is because it can sometimes take time to plan the provision of the help and support
you need. In order to be provided with assistance you need to have a medical certificate
from a doctor, psychologist or approved assessor for reading and writing
difficulties/dyslexia.

We are here to help you!
Academic misconduct
• The examiner for a course is obliged to report suspected cheating to the Disciplinary Board
• Exam invigilators will report to the examiner if a student interacts with another student during a written exam or if a student brings prohibited material to a written exam
• Theses/Degree projects and other papers are examined using software that check for plagiarism
Avoid cheating and plagiarising
Studying at a university demands that
you as a student learn how to:
• analyse on your own and present your
own ideas, knowledge and conclusions.
• use references and quote other texts correctly in order to respect other writers’ texts and the copyright protecting them.
Avoid cheating and plagiarising
When you restructure or summarize a text,
state the source in the text and in the list of
references.
If you want to present an extract exactly as it is
published, copy it exactly and place the text
within quotation marks. State the source by the
quote and in the list of references.
Learn the correct method of referencing from
literature on methodology or from other
sources, and also look at the course literature to
see examples of how it is done in those.
