What is plagiarism and what are the consequences?
Plagiarism is presenting someone else’s work as if it were your own, whether you mean to or not. ‘Someone else’s work’ means anything that is not your own idea, even if it is presented in your own style. It includes material from books, journals or any other printed matter, the work of other students or staff, information from the Internet, software programs and other electronic materials, designs and ideas without prior permission or proper reference of sources. It also includes the organization or structuring of any such material. Students found submitting work done by other people or submitting work with large portions of unacknowledged materials will face disciplinary action and may face expulsion from the course of study.
