Pupils learn the basics of scientific work at school. The level of knowledge at the start of their studies is often very different and ideas about the standards of good academic work diverge.
A consensus must therefore be reached on the rules and standards of academic work. In addition to courses, an information sheet is a good idea.
Such a leaflet has been developed for students of urban and regional planning. The information sheet is introduced and presented in the course on academic work. It then serves as a basis for the assessment of written work and is also used as an assessment standard in the further course of study.
The Faculty of Applied Social Sciences has defined standards that apply throughout the faculty. In addition to the rules of good academic work, they also include assessment standards for giving presentations and presentation techniques.
