writing term papers // plagiarism



If you attend a seminar and need a mark and the
ECTS, you will probably have to write a term paper
Please note: Do not copy anything from the internet
or any literature without quoting it correctly! All
citations have to be quoted correctly. Copying a text
without quoting its source is plagiarism. Plagiarism
is cheating, consequence: 0 points (=fail)
You are expected to use scientific literature for a
term paper, if you do not know how or where to
find it or how to quote correctly, please ask your
teachers
