Academic Misconduct
It is important that you complete and submit work that is your own and not
others.
Plagiarism:
Means taking credit for someone else's words or ideas, either on purpose or accidentally through
failure to cite sources. It is important you carefully and completely acknowledge the work of
others in your assignments / course work.
Collusion:
Collusion is where students work together to complete an assessment that should be taken
independently.
Talking to friends and peers about a topic is a valuable way to improve your understanding and
support your learning. But there is a line between working collaboratively, or in cooperation, and
collusion.
Formal group work is an important skill and likely to be an essential part of your future career. You
can develop this skill in tasks and assessments that are labelled as group work.
It is important that outside of this group work you must work on your course work / assessments
independently.
How to check similarity – Summative Assignment
You can still complete a similarity check by going into summative submission on Turnitin
before the cut-off date on Thursday at 12 noon
You can complete a similarity check as many times as you wish, and you will get an
immediate similarity percentage result for the first 3 times. After that, it will take 24 hours so
please be mindful of the cut-off time for your final submission as once the date and time have
passed you will not be able to submit your work.
Once you have submitted your draft if you wish to recheck your similarity, you can submit a
new version by going into your previous submission on Turnitin and clicking the ‘Resubmit /
upload’ option.
