It should be noted that no individual results given by the School in the course of a semester can be regarded as definitive and that adjustments to grades may be made at the Board of Examiners meeting of the Faculty. A request for re-evaluation is therefore a serious matter, and should be requested only when there is substantial reason to believe the original assessment has been unfair. Students seeking re-evaluation of assessed work should in the first instance consult the original marker. A plagiarised essay is an essay which deliberately presents another's work as if it were your own. Plagiarised essays will not be given any mark nor will permission to resubmit a different essay be granted.
Plagiarism is very easy to spot.
If someone hands in what is essentially the same essay as you, you may both fail. You will be contacted by letter in this case and be given an opportunity to explain the circumstances.
