Academic Integrity

University of Munster central guidance states that whether generative AI systems may be used for examination work depends on the assessed competency and is set by examination regulations and examiners; for work where expression, translation, or code creation is itself assessed, use is generally not permissible.

Review: Agent reviewedConfidence93%

Normalized value: permission_contextual_by_exam_regulations_and_examiners

Original evidence

Evidence 1
Ob generative KI-Systeme zur Erbringung von Prüfungsleistungen statthaft sind, hängt von der jeweils geprüften Kompetenz ab und wird in den Prüfungsordnungen und von den Prüfenden festgelegt. Handelt es sich z.B. um Leistungen, bei denen die Ausdrucksform, Sprachübertragung oder das Erstellen von Computercode Gegenstand der Prüfung ist, ist die Verwendung dieser Systeme in der Regel nicht statthaft.
