1. ALL INDIVIDUAL WORK MUST BE THE STUDENT’S OWN WORK
Databases for Data Science expects enrolled students to work on the individual exercises by themselves. Students are free and encouraged to discuss these exercises but all answers should be written individually. Sharing or receiving answers with other students, whether currently or previously enrolled is not allowed, except for the case where a student is retaking the course and using their own work. Using AI tools such as ChatGPT to do homework is not allowed. However, using online resources to further understand a topic is allowed as long as they are referenced within the answers. Students are required to use discretion in these situations, but all malicious behaviour, such as copying solutions, is not tolerated.
2. PARTICIPATION IN THE GROUP WORK SHOULD BE FAIR AND EQUAL
Databases for Data Science expects enrolled students to partake in the group project in a fair manner. All students must fulfil their responsibilities as agreed upon by all group members.
Students may share and distribute tasks as they wish as long as it is done equitably. In the case of major conflict, members of the teaching body should be consulted.
