4. I have not previously submitted this work for this or any other course/unit.
5. I give permission for my assignment response to be reproduced, communicated, compared and
archived for plagiarism detection, benchmarking or educational purposes.
I understand that:
Plagiarism is the presentation of another person’s work as though it is your own. It is a form of
cheating and is a very serious academic offence that may lead to exclusion from the university.
Plagiarised material may be drawn from published and unpublished written documents,
interpretations, computer software, designs, music, sounds, images, photographs, and ideas or
ideological frameworks gained through working with another person or in a group.
Plagiarised material can be drawn from, and presented in, written, graphic and visual form,
including electronic data and oral presentations. Plagiarism occurs when the origin of the material
used is not appropriately cited.
I agree and acknowledge that:
1. I have read and understood the Declaration and Statement of Authorship above.
2. I accept that use of my Swinburne account to electronically submit this assignment constitutes my
agreement to the Declaration and Statement of Authorship.
3. If I do not agree to the Declaration and Statement of Authorship in this context, the assessment
outcome may not be valid for assessment purposes and may not be included in my aggregate
score for this unit.
Penalties for plagiarism (https://www.swinburne.edu.au/currentstudents/managecourse/examsresultsassessment/plagiarismacademicintegrity/plagiarismmisconduct/) range from a formal caution
to expulsion from the university, and are detailed in the Student Academic Misconduct Regulations
2012. (https://www.swinburne.edu.au/about/leadershipgovernance/policiesregulations/statutesregulations/studentacademicmisconduct/)
