Question: I would like to use APA-7 reference styles in my exam paper. Is this ok, or do I have to go for APA 6?
I'm asking this because APA 7 is not mentioned here:

Answer: You are free to use the reference style of your preference. APA 6 and APA 7 are both acceptable.
Question: Do I have to use tools like Endnote, Zotero to keep track of my references?
what happens if I do not use any tool for tracking my references? Will this affect my grade?
Answer: You are not required to use a reference manager like Endnote or Zotero for this exam. If you use it or not will not have any influence on the grade.
Question: Hey! For the exam in IN5210, I have a question about citing/referencing. Must I mention the page number as well e.g. (p. 62)? Or is it sufficient to just reference the paper by author name and year.
Answer: When quoting directly, always include the page number. For example, Olsen (2019) noted, "The distinction between 'cloud' and foam is not relevant in the context of Web 2.0" (p. 1626). You do not need to include the page number if you do not quote directly.
Question: I was wondering about the third assignment: "Discuss information systems and sustainability based on one article you find relevant from the curriculum". Does this mean that we can only use the one article we choose as a reference point, or are we allowed to draw on explanations and concepts from other articles from the curriculum?
Answer: We ask you to use one, and only one, article from the curriculum/syllabus/reading list.
Question: In assignment three, we are asked to choose one article from the curriculum. Can we choose from the whole curriculum (core readings and supplementary readings) or only from core readings?
Answer: You can choose one article from the whole curriculum, including (core readings and supplementary readings.
Question: I have one question regarding the third assignment in the exam: "Discuss information systems and sustainability based on one article you find relevant from the curriculum." By "from the curriculum", did you mean between the two articles that were presented in the exam? Just making sure its not the whole curriculum :).
Answer: Sorry for being a bit incoherent. The curriculum is the same as the syllabus/reading list (you find it here). The two articles presented in the exam are not a part of the syllabus/reading list.
