Plagiarism Students are encouraged to work together in order to complete assignment work and to study. In practice, this means you may not use the work of another person without a clear and unambiguous statement outlining the extent of that person's contribution to your work. Students whose work is wholly or partly copied from another student will have the piece of assessment disallowed. Students who allow another student to copy their work face the same penalties. Please bear in mind that intellectual property is sometimes the only asset that a university owns.
Plagiarism is theft of intellectual property.
Referencing is essential because it avoids this problem. Assignments will be marked down if referencing is absent or inadequate.
