Plagiarism Plagiarism is the act of presenting another’s ideas or words as one’s own. Cheating includes,
but is not limited to, the intentional falsification or fabrication of any academic activity,
unauthorized copying of another person’s work, or aiding and abetting any such acts. Particular care must be taken when presenting information that has been obtained from an
internet site. Should this information not be correctly referenced, then you are guilty of plagiarism and will be penalized accordingly.
With respect to projects/assignments, faculty reserves the right to randomly call upon any
student and ask them to defend their work orally. Any assignment/exam which is found to contain plagiarism will automatically be awarded a
grade of 0, and an e-mail will be sent to the student or the student’s parents/tutors/sponsors. Depending on the circumstances, additional penalties could be imposed (see LRM Academic
Regulations, Section 11). Statement of authorship Following the title page of your assignment there should be a page on which you sign a statement that the work included in the assignment is your own work except where appropriately referenced. The following statement should be used:
Statement of authorship I certify that this assignment is my own work and contains no material which has been submitted as part of an assignment in any institute college or university. Moreover, to the best of my knowledge and belief, it contains no material previously published or written by another person, except where due reference is made in the text of the assignment.
