Fishman, T. (2009) “We know it when we see it” is not good enough: toward a standard definition of plagiarism that transcends theft, fraud, and copyright  In Proceedings of the Fourth Asia Pacific Conference on Educational Integrity (4APCEI) 28–30 September 2009 University of Wollongong NSW Australia.

If it is a question of plagiarism, this may be considered an attempt to deceive pursuant to § 17 1 StPO. In this case, the performance of the examination will be assessed as “not sufficient” (5.0). In particularly severe cases (e. g. in the event of a repeated attempt to deceive) the exmatriculation takes place, § 17 4 RStPO. It is also possible to withdraw the university degree after completion of the studies.

In order to ensure fair treatment of the study and examination performance of all students and compliance with good scientific practice, cheating in the form of plagiarism must be excluded. Any form of cheating will be punished according to the examination regulations.
