Ethical issue 

Academic honesty and integrity must be respected. A reference list and proper citation of literature- including page numbers, and other sources, is a requirement for all assignments. The course examination is based on the quality of the course paper, including the references and citations.  

Any act of plagiarism is taken seriously.  

Plagiarism is an act of fraud that involves stealing someone else´s work, for example:

1) copying texts from other sources without giving proper citation;

2) failing to put quotation marks in for direct quotations;  

3) incorrect information about the source; and  

4) paraphrasing without proper citation.  

Self-plagiarism is also seen as an act of fraud. It is not allowed to use texts that you have written yourself and that have been examined as part of other university courses and present them as assignments for examination in a new course. This is referred to as self-plagiarism and is in the same way as other types of plagiarism taken seriously by Stockholm University. 

It is important that you understand the seriousness of the offense. At Stockholm University,  plagiarism is taken seriously and if the intention and degree of plagiarism are found inappropriate,  it will be reported to the University Disciplinary Board with a possible consequence that the student will be suspended from their studies for up to 6 months. Please read the following web pages to learn more about Regulations for Disciplinary Matters at Stockholm University:

Grading 

The student assignment will be read, commented and graded by faculty staff members or associate members. Course grades will be entered into LADOK (the university’s central computerized database) ordinarily within 15 working days of the course examination date.  

Course grades are given according to a seven-grade, criteria referenced scale: Passing grades (in descending order) 

A = Excellent, B = Very Good., C = Good, D = Satisfactory, E = Sufficient Failing Grades: 

Fx = Fail, some more work needs to be done, F = Fail, major work needs to be done. A student who has previously passed the exam may not redo the exam to achieve a higher grade.
