Avoiding the use of unfair means

IMPORTANT NOTE: You should thoroughly read and understand the information on unfair means (which can be found here). If you are unsure about what this means, or the implications for your work, you should consult your Project Supervisor, Module Leader, Year Tutor, or Personal Tutor.

Any work which is submitted must be your own and must not include the work of any other person unless it is properly acknowledged and referenced.

Learning how to reference sources appropriately is an essential skill that you will need throughout your University career and beyond.  Follow any guidance on the preparation of assessed work given by the academic department setting the assignment.

You are required to attach a declaration form to all submitted work (including work submitted online), stating that the work submitted is entirely your own work.
