Plagiarism note:
By registering for this course, you declare that you will perform ALL work independently and all sources and aids you use will be identified by citation/reference.

General Disclaimer:
- All text and images generated or modified using AI tools in the process of creating a thesis or grade-relevant contribution to the course must be referenced. Offences will be treated as plagiarism. In all courses that focus on writing your own texts in Japanese (especially practical Japanese courses), the use of complete translation tools (i.e. Google Translate, etc.) and generative AI (i.e. Chat GPD, etc.) is not permitted. The use of general dictionaries (i.e. wadoku.de, books, etc.) is of course allowed.

- Plagiarism, i.e. the adoption of other people's ideas and formulations without proper citation violates the principles of academic work. This also applies to self-plagiarism! If plagiarism is detected, this automatically leads to a fail grade for the entire course; the note ‘unauthorized aids’ then appears on the transcript of records, and there may also be consequences under criminal law. This applies to all written submissions without exception.

- Proof of independent work such as presentations, homework, written (final) papers – can be required. If there is doubt about the origin of said course contributions an oral examination can be required at any time.
