What constitutes plagiarism?
• Plagiarism consists of presenting someone else’s work as your own. Some examples of plagiarism are: • reproducing or paraphrasing published material without acknowledgement of the source • presenting information derived from electronic sources such as the internet without acknowledgement of the source • passing off ideas, designs, inventions or any other creative work as your own • copying from the work of another student • undeclared collusion with another student • getting someone else to do your work for you • submission of previously assessed work This is not an exhaustive list, and your School may issue a supplementary statement about plagiarism which is more particular to your subject of study. • There are clearly degrees of plagiarism, particularly where published work is concerned. At one extreme there may be a very short section of an assignment which is copied without being properly referenced; at the other extreme an assignment may consist almost entirely of copied work. •
