2. CITATION

An Advanced Workbook is a script-based exam paper. Processing the tasks requires one's own thinking, rea- soned opinions and argumentation, or the application of knowledge to specific cases or examples. The an- swers to the tasks should be given independently, in one's own words and based on/using the knowledge acquired in the course. In certain courses it is necessary or obligatory to consult additional literature in order to complete the tasks. If literature research is mandatory in your course, this is indicated in the course-specific guidelines (tasks) in your myCampus course. In courses in which additional literature research is optional you can decide whether you would like to consult literature for the completion of the tasks. In any case, if addi- tional literature has been consulted, it must be cited according to the guidelines. Direct quotations are to be avoided.

First outline your solution to the task in bullet points and then check whether it is comprehensible and whether your statements build on each other. Only then formulate your answer.

1. Note: The answers to the tasks should be given independently, in one's own words and based on/using the knowledge acquired in the course. If you use additional sources in your research and discussion of the respective topic (whether this is mandatory or optional in your course), they must be cited according to the It must be clearly recognisable at which points in the text the author's own conclusions and opinions are included and what is taken from additional literature.
