Great, I sent you a PM.

Thanks for your opinions. After Lenny wrote me a few more things about it in PM, I think I know what happened. The creator worked sloppily and used stuff from other materials (e.g., the thesis mentioned) as example solutions for the project and did not mark them or forgot quoting them at the end. To make it worser, he added "tips" between the examples. That's why it reads so bad. I think @DerLenny agrees with me? I'll keep an eye on it and bring it to the attention of the IU quality department in the new year at the latest. Maybe it will be corrected by then anyhow.

I understand. I don't want to get into a situation where I have to ask a professor whether he copied the contents from a student research project he once supervised without further naming them. Since, as I said, only 3 or 4 students are currently taking the course, this step is also difficult for me. It would only help if IU had a witness protection program and another professor could review the exam. Sounds silly, I know. Do you think the way out is: to finish the project, wait, and later - when there are enough participants - contact quality management accordingly? @DerLennyYou have a good reputation. I can share it with you as second opinion if you don't publicly address the topic with a title or excerpts or names? Maybe I'm just being a sensitive idiot all over the place and care this topic too much?

Sometimes like that, sometimes like that. It is easy to read out the parts that have been copied. For example, these are in the past tense. In contrast, the parts believed to have been rewritten using the imperative in the present tense. If you can speak native English, you will notice this immediately. This makes it difficult to read and understand the actual task. I've searched a bit more, and some things are even copied from Wikipedia. I can sort of work around there, but it somehow takes away from my peace of mind and positive IU experience till now. If the IU already says in the first part: "Please note that IU Internationale Hochschule GmbH holds the copyright to the examination tasks." Then that's not true. Example of "not sure what to do." In the end, a model that has now been developed should now be presented and described. But in the complete task description, it doesn't appear that it should have been worked out or developed. Such as: "Chapter 7: Present the built car steering wheel." And me: "Pardon? Where should we have developed a steering wheel?"

Well, for IU, I have to do a project and consider a particular process, and include various points. So I am referring to an assignment; there is no script included. And it's somehow the weirdest task report assignment I've ever read. The old thesis that I found says something like this: Chapter 4 Headline Word The IU assignment "Task_Project_Report" says: Headline Word I put the word "television" in there as a placeholder. This word has no meaning in the project report's context but certainly in the thesis. That's why I was confused and then looked up in Google. And in this section, the five following sentences and the headlines are simply the same. After that, there are mainly similarities in content. Thesis: IU

Good morning, I'm working on an IU project report, and I'm finding the task list a bit chaotic, and it doesn't all make coherent sense. it looks wildly put together. I've never had that before, and I am over 100 ECTS on international study. The course is super new, and there are currently only a handful of students. After I got stuck, I searched for two or three terms from the assignment on Google, and apparently, entire passages, sentences and structures of the requested project were copied from the work of another thesis. I'm more confused now than before. Should I somehow report the IU? Shouldn't that be citied correctly? I don't want any disadvantage for myself, there are so few students enrolled. Should I just shut up and make the best of it? What would you recommend? I wish I had never googled it.
