Whilst recognising the benefits derived from working with others, all coursework for assessment such as assignments, essay and reports must be essentially each student's own work, unless the course lecturer has specified that the work should be done in groups.
Plagiarism, presenting the work of others as if it were your own, is dishonest. This applies to copying of text, figures, software code and hardware designs from other students, directly from books or from the web. If you use the words of another author you must acknowledge the source and enclose the text within quote marks. Diagrams and other graphical images must also be acknowledged.
Cheating takes place in tests and examinations when someone sees and copies the work from another person or when prohibited material is taken into the test or examination room.
The Department regards any dishonest practice as a very serious offence and when detected will take appropriate action, as prescribed by the University Discipline Regulations.
