Matters Relative to Assignments
1. Please use APA style as outlined in our university library’s guidebook:

2. PLAGIARISM is an extremely serious academic offence and carries penalties varying
from failure in an assignment to suspension from the University. Definitions, penalties
and procedures for dealing with plagiarism are set out in the UOIT’s "Academic Conduct
Policy" which is printed in section 5.15 of the UOIT Calendar. It outlines what Academic
Misconduct and Professional Unsuitability means and the penalties for violating this
policy.
3. For your protection: because assignments sometimes get lost, and because
questions of authorship sometimes arise, it is essential that you be able to document
your creative process in producing assignments. You should keep your research notes
and rough drafts for essays and assignments, even after the finished work has been
graded and returned. When composing on a computer, preserve copies of work in
progress at regular intervals so that you have a track record of how the assignment
evolved. Print hard copies of the work at different stages, or use the ‘save as’ function
on the computer to record successive drafts. The sequence of drafts should be carefully
noted. An inability to provide these materials, if requested, will constitute grounds for
failure on the assignment and will result in a report kept on file in the Faculty of
Education.
4. All assignments must be original, produced by you, and prepared for this course
alone. An essay prepared for or used in another course will be failed automatically. If
you are drawing from assignments done for previous or current courses, please discuss
this before submission.
