Good advice for submitting exams

·  Give a clear explanation of the key concepts/terms presented in the exam paper.

·  Refer to factual knowledge within the relevant field.

·  Demonstrate independent reflection on the questions raised in the exam paper.

·  Show that you actually understand the content of the sources and references you are using in the exam.

·  Always check that your answers are within the scope of the exam question.

·  Refer to sources in a way that the reader can see what are your own thoughts and arguments, and what is taken from other people’s work. Be careful when paraphrasing that what you write is not too close to the original text, both in terms of wording and the order of elements in the text. If it is necessary to follow the same order, you must refer to the source in the running text. See online resources for source citation in your course page in Canvas. If you have questions about source citation, you should contact the library.
