14. Academic Honesty and Plagiarism
It is University policy that cheating by students in any form is not permitted, and that work submitted for assessment purposes must be the independent work of the student concerned (or, where joint work is permitted, of the students concerned). This is in keeping with the rules made by University Council under Regulation 12.2.10 (as reprinted in the Student Diary).
Plagiarism, or copying of another's work without proper acknowledgment is not permitted, nor is it permissible for anyone to allow another person to copy their work for the purposes of assessment.
Plagiarism may take several forms. Any of the following, without full acknowledgment of the debt to the original source, counts as plagiarism or cheating:
direct duplication, by copying (or allowing to be copied) another's work, whether from a book, article, web site, another student's assignment etc.;
paraphrasing of another's work closely, with minor changes but with the essential meaning, form and/or progression of ideas maintained;
piecing together sections of the work of others into a new whole;
submitting one's own work which has already been submitted for assessment purposes in another subject;
producing assignments in conjunction with other people (eg. another student, a tutor) which should be your own independent work.
