Faculty level
University X Footnote in plagiarism prevention guidelines:
„Sections of this guideline [….] have been modified slightly and translated directly from a paper written […] by Univ. of Wales“
„…auch dieser Seminarleitfaden hat extensiv von anderen Quellen profitiert. Da es sich meistens bei den Quellen und auch bei diesem Leitfaden nicht um wissenschaftliche Arbeiten handelt, sind viele Verweise auf Quellen , aus denen Abschnitte wortgleich in den Text übernommen wurden, nur jeweils zu Beginn der Abschnitte mit einem entsprechendem Hinweis genannt.
The referencing and citing practice applied here is naturally
not acceptable in academic pieces of work
such as a dissertation....“

Culture of academic freedom
PGCert TLHE unknown
Only recent education quality standards discussion at a national level
Software use raises inherent fear of suspicion ('Verdachtsmoment')
