Cheating

Cheating is a violation of academic integrity. MF takes cheating very seriously, as this is a breach of trust between the student and MF as an institution. As a student, you are obligated to familiarise yourself with the applicable regulations and demonstrate academic integrity.

Consequences for students that cheat/ attempt cheating are stated in the Higher Education Act § 12-4. Cheating is also dealt with in Mf's regulations § 13, 1 e and§ 36, and in Supplementary regulations for exams § 7, § 9 and § 13.

School exams

Approved aids for school exams are listed in the course description. If you have unapproved aids at your disposal after the exam has started, it will be treated as an attempt at cheating. With the exception of group exams all communication between candidates is not allowed neither in the examination room nor during breaks. Attempts at contacting other students are considered cheating.

Home exams and submission of essays et.c.

Cheating or attempted cheating in home exams can include copying or paraphrasing literature without citations, copying other students' work, or submitting work that has been done by someone other than the student.

You must work independently and submit independent work, unless it is specified that collaboration is allowed. With all final submissions, an Academic Integrity Commitment must be accepted and submitted along with the submission. Presenting text written by artificial intelligence as one's own work is considered cheating.

MF is using a plagiarism checker to check the transcripts of submitted papers, book reports, other study requirements and exams. The program checks the degree of similarity between submitted assignments and texts on the internet, in various text databases, and other submitted assignments.

There are strict requirements for the proper use of sources and citation rules. More information is available on this page:
