Appropriate behaviour during examinations - Dealing with fraud (FR) and plagiarism

China

Beijing

Students are expected to behave in accordance to the rules and regulations as outlined in the Code of Conduct.

If when grading an examination or paper you are suspicious about the validity of a student’s work then you are advised to contact the Examination Board for further advice and instruction (via ec@rsm.nl). More information pertaining to this topic can be found via the Examination Board's 'Teaching Net' portal: https://intranet.eur.nl/group/rsm/fraud.

If a student has been suspected of doing some kind of fraudulent activity, or if a student is caught with his/her telephone either on, or not stowed away during an examination then this will be noted on the student's examination papers. There will be a large FR stamp on the exam when you receive it. The FR stamped exams are directly reported to the Examination Board by the department of Exam Administration (EA). The Examination Board reviews the various cases and also checks to see if students are repeat offenders.

Coordinators are asked to grade all exams, including those marked with FR, and to list the FR students' grades on a 3rd sheet ('tabblad' in Dutch) on the official .xml grade file from the EA. If the student was registered for the exam, note 'FR' next to the students name in the first sheet, and list the student's number and the grade that the student received in the 3rd sheet. If the student wasn't registered for the exam, add the student number to the 2nd excel sheet (for 'ER', or own risk students), and then note 'FR' as the grade. The student's real grade should be listed on the 3rd sheet, together with any other 'FR' grades.

This will ensure that the coordinator can turn in all final grades at the same time (instead of separate files after the fact) and it will also ensure that the EA has the grade on record in the event that the student only receives a warning so that they can process the grade in Osiris.

Once the Examination Board makes its decision regarding an 'FR' case, the student will receive an email with this decision and the coordinator in question and the department of Exam Administration will receive a 'cc' to the message. The cc to the EA provides them notice that they can process the grade that the coordinator listed in the third excel sheet in the xml grade file.
