Instructions for Completing and Submitting your Assignment

3.5. Plagiarism Policy

• Plagiarism is to submit someone else's writings or ideas as your own, and it is a very serious academic offence. Plagiarism involves copying another person's work in part or in its entirety. Plagiarism may also involve using excerpts from other sources, without due acknowledgment of the source. It is important that the appropriate academic quotation referencing conventions are used when quoting from sources.

Familiarise yourself with their contents to ensure that you do not transgress the plagiarism rules.
