Quantexa Academy Plagiarism Policy
2 MIN READ ⭐ Content Overview Introduction Enrolling Candidates to the Academy Reporting of Plagiarism Consequences of Plagiarism 🔗 Official Quantexa Academy Plagiarism Policy To view the official Quantexa Academy Plagiarism Policy, please click here. ℹ Introduction Within the Quantexa Academy, we are committed to upholding the highest standards of academic integrity in educating our employees, partners and clients on the solutions that are developed by Quantexa. The software that has and is being developed by Quantexa uses cutting-edge technologies, incorporating machine learning algorithms and Large Language Models (LLMs). As part of Quantexa’s core values, we encourage our employees, partners and clients who participate within the academy to foster a learning environment driven by innovation, creativity, and of course ethical practices. The Quantexa Academy Plagiarism Policy has been established to address plagiarism in the context of education related to the Quantexa Academy. 👩‍🎓👨‍🎓 Enrolling Candidates to the Academy By enrolling in the Quantexa Academy, candidates agree to: Comply with this plagiarism policy and contribute to a culture of academic excellence and integrity. The work they are submitting is their own. They have not used any AI tools, such as ChatGPT for their work. They have independently developed the skills and knowledge required to pass each assessment. 📢 Reporting of Plagiarism Any member of the Quantexa Academy who suspects plagiarism, whether involving code submissions or the improper use of AI-generated content, is strongly encouraged to report their concerns through the Quantexa Speak-up platform ‘Link to the platform’. All submissions will remain anonymous and will be directed to the Head of Education Services. All reports will be treated seriously and handled with the utmost confidentiality. Appropriate action will be taken following a thorough review. If you believe someone is engaging in plagiarism or obtaining an unfair advantage unethically, you are encouraged to report this to ensure integrity and fairness within the programme. ⚙ Consequences of Plagiarism If we suspect that a candidate’s submission has been copied from another person or generated by any AI solution: We will typically conduct a viva (oral examination) to test candidates understanding of the assessments/tasks they have submitted but also reserve the right to take another form of remedial action. If the candidate fails the viva, Quantexa reserves the right to take remedial action up to and including permanent disqualification from the Quantexa Academy.

FAQ: Gradle taking too long to index
1 MIN READ FAQ relevant for: all Academy versions When opening IntelliJ on the Academy VDIs, dependencies may take too long to load, causing the project to not index properly. This happens because IntelliJ attempts to download dependencies but fails as the VDIs do not have access to the internet. We can stop this happening by putting Gradle in offline mode. To do this you need to do the following: First, click on the Gradle panel near the top of the right sidebar: Then, click on the toggle offline mode button: The button will be a lighter grey colour when the offline mode is on Finally, click the refresh button to restart the indexing: Your project should now index a lot quicker (although it may still take 10-20mins)!
