Academic Honesty

University policy states that ‘it is clearly unfair for students to submit work for assessment that dishonestly represents the work of others as their own’. All ideas and phrases which are not your own, whether they derive from printed sources, resources on the internet, or lectures, must be acknowledged. Failure to acknowledge your sources will result in partial or total loss of marks for that piece of work. Students may also be recommended for more serious disciplinary action. Students who allow their work to be copied and passed off as the work of another student will be regarded as complicit in an act of plagiarism.
