Students are advised to regularly read the news groups rmit.cs.586 and rmit.cs.general in order to be informed of all relevant notices. Plagiarism in oral, written or visual presentations is the presentation of the work, idea or creation of another person, without appropriate referencing, as though it is one's own. Plagiarism is not acceptable. The use of another person's work or ideas must be acknowledged. Failure to do so may result in charges of academic misconduct which carry a range of penalties including cancellation of results and exclusion from your course.
Students are responsible for ensuring that their work is kept in a secure place.
It is also a disciplinary offence for students to allow their work to be plagiarised by another student. Students should be aware of their rights and responsibilities regarding the use of copyright material. Every effort will be made to adhere to this broad outline, but the Department reserves the right to make changes as appropriate. See Class Notes which may be purchased from the RMIT Bookshop. Variations to Assessment Negotiations to vary assessment methods may be made in special circumstances.
