Plagiarism is regarded as a form of theft and is therefore a serious offence.
Examples of plagiarism may be found in the Q Manual which is issued to all students. Plagiarism is the use of another person's work or idea as if it were your own. The other person may be an author, critic, lecturer or another student. It is accepted that students will assist each other with problems associated with their studies and discuss issues with each other. All assigned work, however, must be undertaken by students independently and students must not work in groups unless specifically requested to do so by the lecturer.
