Continuous assessment of course work

For a positive assessment of the course, the successful completion of all partial requirements is mandatory.
As part of the evaluation process, plagiarism detection software (Turnitin in Moodle) may be used.
The use of AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT) for generating texts is only permitted if explicitly allowed or required by the course instructor (e.g., for specific assignments).
To ensure good academic practice, the course instructor may require an oral reflection ('grade-relevant discussion') on the submitted work, which must be successfully completed.
If any partial requirement is obtained dishonestlysuch as cheating during an exam or test, plagiarism in written work, or falsifying signatures on attendance liststhe entire course will be graded as 'not assessed' and recorded accordingly
