Direct copying of text or illustrations (including graphs) or paraphrasing of others work should be followed by the author’s last name, year of publication, and page number (see referencing guidelines). Even personal communication should be acknowledged. These sources should then be placed in a references or acknowledgements list at the end of the work. Quoting passages of work verbatim from the writing of others and presenting them without acknowledgement for assessment as if they are the student’s own ideas constitutes a clear case of plagiarism. If found to be guilty of intentional plagiarism the student’s work may be failed and the student may be asked to leave the programme. SHS Internet Plagiarism Policy Sport and Health Sciences is becoming increasingly aware of the temptation to use information taken from the Internet and then submitting this as original work. Blatant abuse of this information medium will be construed as plagiarism if it is not referenced accordingly. It is also not acceptable to directly insert complete passages of work taken from the Internet, albeit referenced, unless in the form of a direct quotation. The College and University are also fully aware of the location, content and use of material from Essay Banks. The use of any material from these sources is forbidden and if discovered will be severely punished. How to avoid plagiarism Some very useful resources are available to help you understand plagiarism and how to avoid it. ELE module ‘Academic Honesty and Plagiarism’ - this is listed as one of the modules within your ELE access and it is a university requirement that all students complete this self-directed course Book an appointment with the SHS Writing Skills Helpdesk to clarify any queries you might have about referencing or writing for academic purposes in general.

62 Upper second class Merit Fairly Good The work is fairly good. It demonstrates a fairly good comprehension of the assessment’s important requirements and presents a selection of relevant examples. It shows some knowledge of the subject, is generally sound but is in parts unclear or lacking structure, with limited evidence of outside reading. It generally realises the intended learning outcomes, and demonstrates satisfactory analytical skills. The work is slightly below the standard expected from a good output at the appropriate level (see benchmark statement). The work tends to be more descriptive, lacks depth, contains some flaws or errors or demonstrates limitations in writing style or presentation. 58 Lower second class Pass Competent The work is competent. It demonstrates comprehension of some of the assessment’s important requirements and presents a selection of relevant examples. The work is descriptive, showing an adequate or routine knowledge of the subject, with some limitations in understanding or writing style. It lacks a clear structure or shows weaknesses in presentation, analysis or interpretation of results. The work is below the standard expected from a good output at the appropriate level. It makes a reasonable attempt to realise the intended learning outcomes. 55 Lower second class Pass Fairly Competent The work is fairly competent. It demonstrates comprehension of some of the assessment’s requirements and presents an adequate selection of relevant examples. It makes a reasonable attempt at achieving learning outcomes but does not cover all the necessary material and lacks depth. The work is largely descriptive, confused in places with limitations in understanding or writing style. The work is below the standard expected from a good output at the appropriate level. It lacks a clear structure with incorrect or poor interpretation or analysis of data. 52 Lower second class Pass Adequate The work is adequate. It demonstrates some comprehension of the assessment’s requirements and presents some relevant examples. It makes a reasonable attempt at achieving learning outcomes but does not cover all the necessary material and lacks depth. The work is clearly below the standard expected from a good output at the appropriate level. The work is descriptive, contains inaccuracies and false statements, is poorly organised and/or is illogical.
