Academic requirements for exams
During the exam, you’re expected to show what you know and what you’ve learned in the course. The course description explains the learning outcomes and the assessment method(s) for your subject.
In general, you must complete the assignment on your own, and always cite your sources if you’ve been inspired by or used someone else’s work.
Your exam answer must also meet the requirements stated in the exam question, as well as any additional guidelines in the course description or on your course page in Mitt UiB.
Some exams may have specific rules that differ from what you’re used to from secondary school, or other courses, universities or colleges. Carefully review the rules for the specific exam you are about to take.
Make sure you’re familiar with these pages:
