Exams and Grading
Pocket Calculators
Please note that we only permit the use of non-programmable pocket calculators during our exams. The guidelines students have to meet are the official guidelines provided by the examination office: "Calculators are only allowed for use in exams, when they are non-programmable, that means that it is not possible to store texts or formulas." Your pocket calculator is not approved for use in exams if it is able to store any parts of the teaching materials or any information from other sources outside the calculator itself. Additionally, it should not be able to solve (linear) systems of equations. The guidelines from the examination office can be found here [in German only].
Review of Examinations
We organize opportunities for students to review their exams. A single review date will be announced on the research group webpage. If you are interested in reviewing a recent exam, email the contact person listed in the review announcement with your name and matriculation number to express interest in attending the appointment. After sending your request, you will be sent a time proposal to meet on the specific review date. It is explicitly forbidden to bring pencils, notes, or electronic devices to the examination review session.
Academic Integrity and Disclosure of Use of AI Tools
Plagiarism is a serious academic offense. Therefore, in written work, care must be taken to ensure that all quotations are marked appropriately and sources are cited. To formally disclose that academic integrity is upheld, all written work must be accompanied by a signed declaration.
Erklärung: Ich versichere eidesstattlich, dass ich die vorliegende schriftliche Arbeit selbstständig verfasst und keine anderen als die von mir angegebenen Hilfsmittel benutzt habe. Die Stellen der Arbeit, die anderen Werken dem Wortlaut oder dem Sinne nach entnommen sind, wurden in jedem Fall unter Angabe der Quellen (einschließlich des World Wide Web und anderer elektronischer Text- und Datensammlungen) kenntlich gemacht. Dies gilt auch für beigegebene Zeichnungen, bildliche Darstellungen, Skizzen und dergleichen. Mir ist bewusst, dass jedes Zuwiderhandeln als Täuschungsversuch zu gelten hat und gemäß § 16 bzw. 28 Allgemeine Bestimmungen mit "nicht ausreichend" bewertet wird.
Declaration: By signing this declaration I confirm that I have completed the present thesis/essay independently, without help from others and without using resources other than indicated and named. All phrases that are taken directly or indirectly from other sources (incl. electronic resources), quoted verbatim or paraphrased are indicated accordingly. I am aware that any violation of this declaration will result in the work being graded as ‘failed’ (1 grade point according to § 16 (2) and 28 respectively of "Allgemeine Bestimmungen").
With the growing use of tools which rely on artificial intelligence, all written work should properly disclose the extent of their usage. Thereby, disclosure of the use of AI tools should follow the formal guidelines for written work of FB19 (pg. 16-19).Our Grading History
