Clarification on External Resources
Written on 05.01.2023 21:22 by Sven Rahmann
Dear all,
we would like to re-emphasize the following: If you use external sources for your solutions, you must cite them. This includes AI bots. Failure to do so will result in failing the course. You must still understand the code in detail and be able to answer all questions about it. And you can be sure: We will ask about the details in the exam. The exam will be very strict in this regard. If you do not understand the code you submitted (even if you cite your resources), you will fail the exam.
So if you reach 35 stars only by using other people's solutions, I can assure you: you will fail the course. And you will be reported if you plagiarize. And you will have wasted the team's and my time, and this will be remembered. So don't do it. Work out the solutions on your own. If it is not possible or too hard in this semester, come back and try a different programming course next winter.
I hope that this is crystal clear now. We want you to learn programming and not how to cheat your way through the Master's program.
