Each seminar paper must be accompanied by an informal declaration by the student that he/she has written the work independently and only with the sources indicated. This declaration must be signed by the student. Without this declaration, seminar papers/theses will not be accepted!

Text:
I declare that I have written this paper independently and have not used any sources and aids other than those specified and that I have followed the general principles of academic work and publications as laid down in the guidelines of good academic practice of the University of Oldenburg."

In the case of group work, the contributions of the authors to be assessed as examination performance must also be differentiated from each other, e.g. by specifying chapters or page numbers.

The following also applies to German Studies (see the relevant subject-specific annex to the examination regulations):
If the examination papers to be submitted in paper form are based on electronic documents or files, an electronic version with identical content in a common file format must be submitted in addition to the printed version. However, only the submitted paper version is deemed to be the examination performance.
