Academic Integrity

Saarland University guidance says unauthorized use of generative AI in coursework or examinations, or failure to document it when required, is deception and may invalidate coursework or examinations and, in serious cases, lead to loss of examination entitlement.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence92%

Normalized value: unauthorized_or_undocumented_ai_use_treated_as_deception

Original evidence

Evidence 1
Wird generative KI unerlaubt beim Erbringen von Studien- oder Prüfungsleistungen eingesetzt und/oder wird der Einsatz von diesen entgegen entsprechender Anforderung nicht adäquat gekennzeichnet und dokumentiert, handelt es sich um eine Täuschung, welche zur Ungültigkeit von Prüfungs- und Studienleistungen und in schweren Fällen zum Verlust des Prüfungsanspruchs führen kann.

Unauthorized use, or inadequate documentation when required, is treated as deception and can invalidate assessments or lead to loss of examination entitlement in serious cases.

Ai Tool Treatment

Saarland University guidance says using generative AI as an aid for coursework and examinations is generally allowed, but instructors or examiners may restrict it to certain functions or prohibit it entirely.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence90%

Normalized value: generative_ai_generally_allowed_as_aid_with_instructor_limits

Original evidence

Evidence 1
Generell gilt: Die Verwendung generativer KI als Hilfsmittel zur Erbringung von Studien- und Prüfungsleistungen ist grundsätzlich erlaubt. Die Verwendung kann jedoch von der/dem Dozierenden bzw. Prüfenden auf bestimmte Funktionen beschränkt oder gänzlich untersagt werden.

Localized display only

In general, generative AI may be used as an aid for coursework and examinations, but instructors or examiners may restrict or prohibit it.

Academic Integrity

Saarland University guidance says generative AI should have the status of an aid and must not replace students' own work; assessment requirements should ensure significant student contribution.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence90%

Normalized value: ai_as_aid_not_replacement_for_student_own_work

Original evidence

Evidence 1
Entscheidend ist, dass generative KI den Stellenwert von Hilfsmitteln innehaben und die Eigenleistung der Studierenden keinesfalls ersetzt. Leistungsanforderungen sind so zu gestalten, dass bei der Leistungserbringung eine signifikante Eigenleistung der Studierenden sichergestellt ist.

Localized display only

The guidance treats generative AI as an aid and says it must not replace students' own work; assessments should ensure significant student contribution.

Academic Integrity

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence88%

Normalized value: ai_documentation_generally_declaration_based_examiners_may_require_more

Original evidence

Evidence 1
Grundsätzlich ist keine explizite Dokumentation der Verwendung erforderlich und die Angaben zur Art der Verwendung im Rahmen der Eigenständigkeitserklärung sind ausreichend. Ein*e Prüfer*in kann dessen ungeachtet aber zur Nachvollziehung des Lern-Prüfungsprozesses im Vorfeld transparent und schriftlich die Notwendigkeit der Kenntlichmachung formulieren.
