To ensure fairness, materials subsequently are scrutinised by a second examiner within the Department, and a consensus is reached on these separate assessments. If informal discussion fails to resolve the matter satisfactorily and there appears to be genuine and substantive grounds for appeal, the student should submit a written explanation of their grievance to the chair of the sub-board of examiners . A final formal written appeal can be made to the College Registrar. Students are expected to know the College and Department policies in detail and to avoid even the appearance of inappropriate behaviour. In the first demonstrated instance of plagiarism or other irregularities in this course, students will receive a 0 F for the course and will be referred to the department and College officials accordingly.
All course work is subject to scrutiny against past papers and other materials for irregularities.
I use other means at my disposal too. Though I may not identify a case at the time, I am severe with those I do find. I also can check past papers and modify marks accordingly. Frankly, if there is one thing I can't stand, it's lazy and dishonest scholarship. This is why I pursue suspected cases of misconduct with vigour.
