Plagiarism

Failure to cite sources as they are used will be regarded as plagiarism. Plagiarism is one form of cheating. Where direct quotations from a source are included in the student’s work, inverted commas must be used and the source cited. Where ideas from a text, reference or article are used, the source must be cited. Similarly, where comments from personal interviews are used, acknowledgement must be made.

All sources used must be set out in a list of references or a bibliography at the end of the assignments. This does not replace in-text referencing but is supplementary to it.

Where there is evidence that a student has plagiarized sources or there is evidence of other forms of cheating, one of the following actions may be taken at the school’s discretion:

• the student may fail the unit, or

• the assignment may be failed, or

• a make-up assignment may be set, or

• the assignment may be repeated, or

• the matter may be referred to the Head of Department.

Collusion

A less well-defined issue is that of group work. The forming of a group to share ideas and assist in the development of assignments or projects is an accepted and encouraged practice. However, it is not acceptable for members of the group to submit identical answers to assignments, by simply copying the work done as a group.

Hence if you study in groups by all means discuss assignments or projects but prepare your formal response yourself.
