Sources and citations on the exam

Hi everyone!

We have received several questions regarding sources and citations. The exam in IN3050 and IN4050 2021 will be similar to an exam in Silurveien. Any of the questions asked could have been asked if the exam had been given in Silurveien.  If you have learned your syllabus, the questions can be answered in the usual ways without accessing books, the internet, or other sources. If you answer as usual, you do not have to cite your sources. In particular, if you know the answer to a question, you should not waste time finding out where in the syllabus the knowledge you apply can be found.

If, however, you look up something in the syllabus and you quote it directly, you should give a simplified citation of where you found it, e.g., "Marsland, p. 999" or "Lecture 30, slide 99".

If you make active use of any sources outside the syllabus, you should make proper citations.
