Plagiarism
Plagiarism is the copying, paraphrasing or summarising of work, in any form, without acknowledgement of sources, and presenting this as a student‘s own work.
Examples of plagiarism could include, but are not limited to:
▪ submitting all or part of another person‘s work with/without that person‘s knowledge
▪ submitting all or part of a paper from a source text without proper acknowledgement
▪ copying part of another person‘s work from a source text, supplying proper documentation, but leaving out quotation marks
▪ submitting materials which paraphrase or summarise another person‘s work or ideas without appropriate documentation
▪ submitting a digital image, sound, design, photograph or animation, altered or unaltered, without proper acknowledgement of the source.
Student information
Colleges are responsible for informing students about what constitutes plagiarism and the appropriate ways of acknowledging sources. Positive advice should also be offered about how students can avoid plagiarism. Advice on plagiarism should be provided to students well before their first assessment item is due.
Colleges must also inform students that any incident of plagiarism will be treated as a serious breach of discipline in assessment and the penalties that may be imposed. (BSSS Handbook, 2012)
