Plagiarism
Plagiarism is defined as taking, using, and passing off as your own, the ideas
or words of another. It is a very serious academic offence, and can result in your work being
failed automatically. The best way to avoid it is to take careful notes of where you find your
information, and always acknowledge the work of others. Such work may include sections of text,
quotations, original ideas, graphics, diagrams, charts, tables and figures.
Plagiarism is:
- using an author's work which is paraphrased or presented without a reference
- copying other students' work; including items of assessment which are written in conjunction
with other students (without prior permission of your tutor / lecturer)
- submitting work which has already been submitted for assessment previously in another course.
