Examination

Overall 6 hp
UPG1 3 hp:

There will be five seminars with 8 preparation problems each. This allows for a maximum of 40 points (one point per solved problem). You need to collect 16 points to get the 3hp credit. The main bulk of this work counts toward the exam. Every additional cluster of four assignments gives an additional point in the exam.

UPG2 1 hp

You hand in two (in examiner opinion) high quality article summaries and actively attend both article discussion seminars.

TEN1 2 hp

Requirements to get credit: You pass the final written exam. Exam assignments will be at a level similar to the preparation problems (a mix of some easy and several challenging questions).

Rules regarding plagiarism or unacceptable collaboration

Preparation problems
You are allowed to cooperate as much as you like, in fact you are encouraged to attempt your solution, practice by presenting it to your friends, discuss the solution with them, and help each other to new heights. You get points for being well prepared to present and explain a (presumably your) solution. Even if we encourage you to discuss and to cooperate, you should send individually (presumabely your) solutions. If you try to take shortcuts it is entirely on you: If you are chosen to present and explain your solution and fall through you loose all points for that seminar. And at the end of the course the exam will show what you learned.
Article summaries
Article summaries are individual and the examiner will compare them for similarities both electronically (you will have to submit to "urkund") and manually. If suspicion of plagiarism occur, involved parties (both honest and dishonest authors) will be reported and the disciplinary board will deliver a verdict. If you want to quote (with your own words or directly) what some other clever geek says (including friends in the class), you must make a proper citation (källhänvisning) and include said philosopher in your reference list. Properly cited thoughts will not get you to the disciplinary board, you can only get in trouble when you try to pass others' work as your own. A summary with little or no thoughts of your own may however, for obvious reason, fail. Example: If you copy and hand in (part of) Simon's summary you are in deep trouble. But if you start with "Simon says" followed by Simon's summary and a proper citation and reference list with Simon listed, then you are absolutely fine. (Although you will not get credit, of course.)

Previous Exams

The exam problems will have a comparable level of difficulty as the problems listed in the problem seminars.
