10,338 PointsSo and i apologise for being slow, but am i right in thinking that a programmer might know that he has covered certain code, but temporarily forgotten how to implement it, therefore its ok to keep looking on the internet for what he might need? Also is that acceptable to do throughout this Techdegree?

231,268 PointsThe only time using references might not be appropriate would be in a proctored exam. You would be given explicit rules in that case.

231,268 PointsAll I know about the techdegree is from company postings, but the blog page does metion "a proctored final exam.".
The public info also talks about a "Dedicated team of Techdegree specialists" and "Weekly office hours for live support". Those would probably be the folks who can give you more details.
