Rule 2: In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used
If there are parts of the solution that the student has not done themselves, the student must make the examining teacher aware of this.
In many cases it is natural to use material produced by someone else. For programming tasks, it may be natural to include ready-to-use examples found in the course literature or provided by the course coordinator. This must be clearly declared, e.g. through comments in the code. When writing reports/essays, it is natural to use various types of sources, and these must be disclosed in the form of references and a bibliography (direct quotes must be explicitly specified).
Anyone utilizing an idea originating from another person or generated using AI must clearly state the source of the idea. This applies even to ideas conveyed verbally, such as during discussions with other students.
When stuck on a task, one may need to ask a teacher, assistant, peer, or AI for help with troubleshooting or tips. This is often allowed, but when the help is of fundamental importance it must be clearly reported in an appropriate manner, such as through comments in the code or in a written report. Those seeking assistance in solving their task should do so with the intention of increasing their understanding, not with the intention of quickly and easily completing the task.
Discussions among peers are encouraged, but after the discussion, each individual should create their own solution. A student who, according to the assessing teacher's assessment, has made too small a contribution to the solution themselves has not performed sufficiently to be approved in the current course component.
