Reykjavik University places great emphasis on academic integrity and the high quality of scholarly work. The following rules apply to all aspects of project work.
a. Your original work
Reykjavik University requires that your projects be your original work. This means that the work has been completed by you from beginning to end. Plagiarism is unacceptable at all times, and all sources of information must be acknowledged in a scholarly fashion. Instructors may give students more freedom to cooperate in special cases, and this will then be stated in the written project description. This also applies to group work. Projects undertaken by a group must be completed from beginning to end by that particular group. The whole group shall be answerable to this code of conduct.b. Your contribution
Reykjavik University requires that you always put forth your best effort in group work and make sure that your contribution is equivalent to that of others. Instructors are allowed to give different grades to group members when there is reason to believe that contributions differ greatly.
c. Individual and group projects
In individual projects the student must work on all parts of the project alone. Group projects may allow for the division of tasks between the individuals, given that the contribution of each member is comparable. The whole group remains, however, responsible for the final product.
The penalty for violation of these rules ranges from the grade of 0 for the project, to 0 in the course and even to suspension from further studies.
