Plagiarism – A Warning
The University Regulations define plagiarism as 'the passing off of another person's
thoughts, ideas, writings or images as one's own…Examples of plagiarism include
the unacknowledged use of another person's material whether in original or
summary form. Plagiarism also includes the copying of another student's work'.
Plagiarism is a serious offence and is treated by the University as a form of
dishonest means in assessment. Students are directed to the University Regulations
for details of the procedures and penalties involved. Plagiarism is, however, easily
avoided by the full and correct use of referencing.
