The requirements of the course, including examinations, encourage students to develop skills in managing time, working independently and taking responsibility for their own work. To be awarded a Duly Performed Certificate students must satisfactorily complete the work of the class, including regular attendance at seminars and the submission of the assessable essay or expert system. If students do not meet those requirements they may be refused a DP, in which case, they will not be able to sit the degree examination. Although it is realised that some absences may be unavoidable, a dim view will be taken of absence without notice when a student has been allocated a particular class task such as speaking to a particular set reading. G. Appeals and Plagiarism Students are directed to consider the information concerning appeals from Honours marking which can be found in the Honours prospectus, and to the statements about plagiarism contained therein.
Plagiarism is the appropriation without attribution of another person s thoughts or words.
As a denial of that independence of thought which it is the aim of Higher Education to inculcate, it is naturally a grave offence against University discipline.
