PLAGIARISM (copying another student’s work)

Plagiarism means using another person's ideas or a part of their work and pretending that it is your own. All work you hand in must be your own. If you plagiarise, you will fail the

course. You may also affect the grades of all other students on your course.

This is what is expected of you whilst you are at the College:

 You will only hand in your own original work for assessment.  You will show when you have used information provided by someone else by giving the person’s name and where you found the information, For example, if you use someone else’s words you will enclose the quote with inverted commas. You will also repeat this information at the end of the piece (this is called a bibliography/reference section).  You will show when you have downloaded information from the

Internet  You will never use another’s disk as if it were your own work, nor copy work from a disk belonging to someone else and use if as if it were your own.  You will never use someone else’s artwork, pictures or graphics (including graphs, spreadsheets etc.) as if they were made by you.  You will never let other student’s use or copy from your work and pass it off as if they had done it themselves.
