Plagiarism

Plagiarism

Plagiarism is the presentation of another person’s words, ideas, arguments, concepts or designs as your own. Plagiarism comes in many shapes and forms ranging from the copying, without referencing, whole sections of published works, to the unattributed use of text, diagrams, illustrations or formulae taken from the unpublished work of other students. Plagiarism covers not only print but intellectual property rights, which reside in all other media, including software. Plagiarism is a very serious offence and allegations of plagiarism may be referred to the Disciplinary Committee of the University.
