The material presented should be carefully chosen to match the assumed readership. Essay writing is an exercise in communication. Therefore only material which the writer thoroughly understands should be included. The material chosen should be coherent and complete. Copying the work of another writer into your own work without acknowledgment constitutes plagiarism.
Plagiarism is absolutely unacceptable .
All ideas and phrases which are not your own, including those from lectures and the Web, must be acknowledged. All quoted material must be enclosed in quotation marks or indented and it must be repeated exactly in the form of the original. Any omission from, or variation to, the original, must be identified by a standard typographical device, e.g. ellipsis dots, italics or square brackets. Quoted material must be acknowledged by a standard form of reference including the page number on which the material is to be found. Paraphrased material or ideas taken from the work of any other writer, including fellow students, must also be acknowledged in the same way as directly quoted material.
