Master Molecular Biology (865)

The use of AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT) for the production of texts is only permitted if this is explicitly requested by the course director.

In order to ensure good scientific practice, the course management can provide for a "grade-relevant discussion" (plausibility check), which must be successfully completed.
