PLAGIARISM

“Plagiarism is the practice of presenting thoughts, writings or other output of another or others as original, without acknowledgement of their source(s).” All material used to support a piece of work, whether a printed publication or from electronic media, should be appropriately identified and referenced and should not normally be copied directly unless as an acknowledged quote. Text translated into the words of the individual student should in all cases acknowledge the source. For further information please see:

  • direct quotations are marked as such (using “quotation marks” at the beginning and end of the selected text); and
  • citations are included in the list of references.
