\nPg. 7 Version 2Plagiarism1. Plagiarism, which can be defined as using without acknowledgement another person\u2019s words or ideasand submitting them for assessment as though it were one\u2019s own work, for instance by copying,translating from one language to another or unacknowledged paraphrasing. Further examples ofplagiarism are given below:Use of any quotation(s) from the published or unpublished work of other persons, whether publishedin textbooks, articles, the Web, or in any other format, which quotations have not been clearlyidentified as such by being placed in quotation marks and acknowledged.Use of another person\u2019s words or ideas that have been slightly changed or paraphrased to make itlook different from the original.Summarising another person\u2019s ideas, judgments, diagrams, figures, or computer programmes withoutreference to that person in the text and the source in a bibliography or reference list.Use of services of essay banks and\/or any other agencies.Use of unacknowledged material downloaded from the Internet.Re-use of one\u2019s own material except as authorised by the department.2. Collusion, which can be defined as when work that has been undertaken by or with others is submittedand passed off as solely as the work of one person. This also applies where the work of one candidateis submitted in the name of another. Where this is done with the knowledge of the originator bothparties can be at fault.3. Fabrication of data, making false claims to have carried out experiments, observations, interviews orother forms of data collection and analysis, or acting dishonestly in any other way.Plagiarism Detection Software (PDS) \u2013 TurnitinAs part of its commitment to quality and the maintenance of academic standards, the University reserves theright to use Plagiarism Detection Software (PDS), including Turnitin. Such software makes no judgment as towhether a piece of work has been plagiarised; it simply highlights sections of text that have been found inother sources.The use of plagiarism detection software fulfills two functions. The first is to enhance student learning (i.e., asa developmental tool); the second is to guard against and identify unfair practice in assessment.Further information and guidance can be found in the University\u2019s policy on the Use of Plagiarism DetectionSoftware (Turnitin).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
