Correct and sufficient in-text citation to acknowledge sources; correct and consistently formatted references
13.

14. Do not copy and paste Do not copy and paste text or images from the web or somewhere else Do not copy and paste even if you plan to change it later Do not rewrite somebody else’s text sentence by sentence Clearly mark quotations, for example: According to Smith, “uncertainties include fuzzyness and randomness” [14] The structure this this section follows closely Smith et. al. [15]. You can quote images but it is much better to draw your own Anyone found copying even a small amount of someone else’s work without correct citations will fail the course and may face further disciplinary action
15. Topic introduction Topics are listed in Noppa Tutors will introduce themselves and their topics in first lecture Possibility to propose your own topic, however that may not always produced a good result Require a tutor Agree with the course teacher
