Intellectual Property and Copyrights
All the
deliverables may be reused/modified/upgraded by other students and/or the
instructor later on for educational purposes. The instructor will make sure
to give appropriate credits and acknowledgements to the
student in that case.
The instructor believes that the student has the intellectual property rights
of the system student developed. However, since it is done in a class at LTU,
it is also requested that the
student should give appropriate credits and acknowledgements to the University as
well as
the instructor, if the system is used or commercialized after the class.
Policy on Academic Misconduct
- Plagiarism is a serious academic offense. DO NOT COPY THE WORK OF
OTHERS. Failure to observe this will result in zero point for the
assignment and will be handled in accordance with University Policy.
- Cheating during exams is also a very serious academic
offense and will be handled in accordance with University Policy.
