Students should also note that essays, assignments and other work are generally presumed to be the student's own work and where any such work is identical to, or similar to, another student's work, an assumption of cheating may arise. If students wish to undertake work in conjunction with other students, it is suggested that the matter be discussed with the lecturer concerned. See also further information on page 1. Plagiarism All work submitted for assessment must be students' own work. Sources of work of others must be acknowledged in full.
Plagiarism is an attempt to obtain undeserved academic advantage.
Students suspected of plagiarism will be given the opportunity to explain their plagiarism in the company of their lecturer and the course coordinator. If the course coordinator believes that plagiarism has occurred, students normally will receive no marks at all for the piece of work concerned. Cases of deliberate plagiarism will be reported to the dean of the faculty in accordance with faculty policy. Serious or repeated cases may be reported to the university Discipline Committee.
