Students are informed in the Guide to Undergraduate Assessment/Guide to Postgraduate
Assessment (Taught Programmes) that it is advisable to submit work in an unfinished
state rather than to fail to submit any work.
7. Academic Misconduct
The Senate has agreed the following statement in respect of academic
misconduct:
'Cheating, which is the attempt to gain an advantage for oneself or another by
deceit, and other misconduct are breaches of discipline under the University's
Regulations for Conduct 16, and are punishable by a range of sanctions.
(a) Cheating in assessed coursework (for example, dissertations, long essays or
projects) and open book examinations includes, but is not restricted to:
(i) Plagiarism
For the purposes of these regulations, plagiarism is defined as the
fraudulent representation of another's work as one's own. This applies
whatever the source of the material (for example, a published source,
the web, or the work of another student), whether the material is
copied word for word or paraphrased, and whatever the extent of the
material used. Wilful and deliberate disregard for good academic
practice in respect of attribution of material will be construed as
plagiarism.
[Please note that programme handbooks normally provide discipline-
specific advice on the appropriate use and attribution of source
material]
(ii) Taking a copy of another student's work without his or her permission
(whether or not this work is subsequently plagiarised).
(iii) Reproduction of work assessed elsewhere
Unless otherwise stated, it is not permissible for a piece of work
submitted for assessment to include substantial sections which are
drawn from another piece of work submitted for a qualification,
whether of this University or another awarding body. In the case of
assessments where the incorporation of work from another assessment
is permitted, the relevant School will inform students accordingly. Any
material in an assignment which has been drawn from another piece of
work submitted for a qualification should be clearly indicated with a
reference to the assessment and qualification for which the material
was previously submitted.
(iv) Falsifying data, evidence, or experimental results.
