6. Examinations

Examinations
Examinations will be given within class hours. However, there are occasions that semester-end examinations are
conducted during the scheduled examination period.
*Check the bulletin boards in front of the Law School office and “keio.jp” for further information on the examination
timetable, what to bring, precautions, and other details.

■ Precautions for semester-end examinations
a Be careful to avoid academic misconduct.
b All examinees must turn in their answer sheets. When they must use the duplicate answer sheets, please
make sure to submit the first page only and take out the second page as a duplicate. Leaving theexamination room without submitting the answer sheets is considered fraudulent conduct and offenders
will be subject to disciplinary action.
c Students must show their student ID card in order to take the examination.
d If you fail to bring your student ID card on the day of the examination, you must obtain a temporary student
ID card (which is valid for only the date of issuance and permits you to enter all campuses and libraries)
from the Office of Student Service (Law School). 500 yen will be charged for issuance.
e Students carrying neither a student ID card nor temporary ID card are not permitted to enter theexamination room.
f Examination times will not be extended for any student arriving late as a result of administrative
procedures required in order to obtain a temporary ID card.
g Fill in your answer sheet with the name of the lecturer, course title, your name, and student ID number
correctly in full. If any blank is found, no grade will be given.
h You are allowed to take the examination if you arrive within 20 minutes after the beginning of the period inwhich the examination takes place (time extensions will not be given). However, if the late arrival is due tounavoidable train delays, you may choose whether to take the regular examination or apply for the makeup examination. In the case of train line suspension resulting in delays, the examination starting time may
be delayed. Make sure to go to the examination room and follow the instructions of the exam supervisor.
i You are not allowed to leave the examination room during the first 30 minutes and the last 10 minutes. If
you leave the examination room due to illness, etc., after the examination has started, you will not be
eligible to take the make-up examination.
j Be sure to be seated at least 5 minutes before the start time of the examination. Also, listen to theannouncement of the examiner carefully.
k Do not leave items on the desk or in the desk, except for a stapler and other items that are permitted to bring
into the examination. Beverages (such as water in a bottle) and clothes or lap blanket in order to control bodytemperature are permitted to bring into examination. The temperature of the classroom might be different
depending on whether or not you are seated near the air conditioning equipment. Be sure to wear layered clothes
that can easily be added or removed to control your body temperature.
■ Precautions for writing papers and dissertations
Papers and dissertations you submit must reflect your own academic achievements and are as important as
semester-end examinations and in-class examinations.
Any reference taken from particular sources must be clearly distinguished from your own viewpoints, and properuse of citations is required. The failure to identify material you take from other sources is known as plagiarism.
Plagiarism is punished severely and can result in any of a failing grade in the relevant course, failing grades for all
courses in the relevant term, or suspension or expulsion from the academic program.
Note the following:a) Clearly distinguish your own opinion from that of others.
b) Clearly indicate the references for quotations when referring to or citing works of others.
c) For quotations, write just as written in the original work, including typographical errors.
d) Follow the rules of citation.
e) When referring to information from the internet, clearly indicate the URL, the title of the webpage, and the datewhen you accessed the webpage.
f) Submitting the same work for several classes or re-using work you did in previous classes at Keio or elsewhereis considered a form of misconduct (sometimes called "self-plagiarism").
14

If you have any doubts about whether you are properly using or citing work of others (or your own previouswork) as you work on any assignment, please consult the instructor BEFORE submitting the assignment inorder to make sure that you are not violating these rules nor subject to discipline.
■Announcement on Using ChatGPT and Other AI-Generated Content
For each class you take, should your undergraduate faculty, graduate school, or professors encourage or
permit AI-generated content, make sure that you follow the guidelines and instructions given by the relevant
faculty members at that time. If any reports or essays are created using AI, you must indicate so clearly on theassignment.
In other words, using AI is essentially the same as relying on another person for that generated content.
Students will not be allowed to use AI or similar tools for class assignments or exams when these tasks require
students to work independently.

(c) Personal Accident Insurance for Students Pursuing Education and Research
Keio University is a member of Japan Educational Exchanges and Services (JEES), through which Keio pays for“Personal Accident Insurance for Students Pursuing Education and Research,” an insurance plan that covers students
who suffer physical injury from an unforeseen accident in the course of their educational and research activities. This
insurance is for regular undergraduate and postgraduate students, research students, and short-term international
students (MEXT scholarship students and designated exchange students only), Japanese Language Program students,
and Keio International Program (KIP) students. “Educational and research activities” means regular curricular activities
on- and off-campus, participation in university events, and extracurricular activities (advance notification to the university
is required for off-campus activities). Accidents that occur on the way between a student’s residence and the university,and while traveling between university facilities, are also covered. However, "illness" is not covered by this insurance. In
addition, depending on the number of hospital visits it takes to recover, you may not qualify for this insurance.
If you have suffered any physical injury while engaged in the activities described above, visit the Office of Student
Services (Student Life Services).
