Use of Dictionary in Exams

The foreign students in the department of Computer Science at University of Joensuu are allowed to use their own dictionaries on the following conditions:
  1. Electronic dictionaries are prohibited.
  2. The dictionary must have the name of its owner on the first page, written in western alphabet. Everyone has to use his/her own dictionary in the exam. This is for identification of the owner of the dictionary in case of unclarities.
