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)
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.
