Academic term papers
The term paper is a common type of submission and examination at the university. Term papers underlie certain formal requirements, such as for example concerning the contents and organisation of the title page. A title sheet following the design guidelines of Technische Universität Darmstadt can be downloaded here .
In addition to following the above mentioned formal requirements, students are obliged to add a formal statement to any term paper or other written submissions that any work they submit toward the fulfilment of course requirements is their own work and that none other than the sources cited therein were used in the completion of the task. The text to be used in this formal statement is available for downloadhere (opens in new tab) .
