Cheating, discrimination and other inappropriate behaviour

Cheating, plagiarism, discrimination, inappropriate behaviour… How can you deal with those situations? Should you speak to someone directly? That’s not always easy. In the new TU Delft Code of Conduct you can read about how to act in sometimes complex situations according to the values we consider important at the university. The code also contains the TU Delft Declaration of Integrity, which gives you information about the rules of conduct everyone is expected to adhere to. You will also learn what is specifically expected of you as a student.
Would you like to know more? Take a look at tudelft.nl/integrity where you will find the code of conduct and the Integrity Roadmap, a tool that shows you the paths you can take if you are faced with an (ethical) dilemma.

 

Interactive Theatre Play 17 & 18 March: TIME OUT before stressing out

We all experience stress now and then. It is part of our lives and has a function as it helps us to perform. There’s nothing wrong with working hard and having ambition; go for it! But what if it is too much? You probably know about mindfulness apps and self-help books. Maybe even use them. They do however only control the symptoms. The underlying question is much more important: why do you experience stress? And why is it so hard to talk about it?

Interactive Theatre Play
On 17 and 18 March, you can attend the interactive theatre play Time Out. In this play, professional actors start a dialogue about the early signs and possible solutions. It will help you recognize signals of a burn-out and lowers the threshold to talk about the subject. It will truly be a heart- and eye opener.

Afterwards, make sure to join the cafe. There, you will have the possibility to talk about the play, have a drink and get more information about dealing with stress.

Do You Need a Time Out?
Come by on 17 or 18 March! Attend the play especially made for Bachelors on 17 March, performed in Dutch, or join the one directed at Master students on 18 March performed in English.
