Important note for examiners (written and oral exams)
As of Summer Semester 2012, the following rules apply: If you want me as an examiner, I strongly recommend that you attend at least one of my courses/lectures. Also, the field of Medieval Studies must be adequately represented.
Plagiarism
In the light of given events, I would like to point out that exams have to be written in your own words as well. Here, exact citations of texts by other authors (also from online sources) without adequate reference are considered plagiarism and treaded as such.
