  7. News Riktlinjer för betygsnämndens sammansättning • See http://www.lith.liu.se/forskarutbildning/fun/policydokument/1.245390/Betygsnamnd_2011.pdf • Betygsnämnd: Conflict of interest – jäv: Related, working group, co-writer, not former supervisor Master’s courses (recommendations) • PhD students should not register for Master’s courses • Students should instead agree with course leaders that they can follow courses without being registered • Results should be reported directly in Forskar-Ladok PhD programs will be evaluated by HSV
