UTas Plagiarism site | Academic integrity
Plagiarism is the taking and using of others' words or material and representing them as your own, or working in collaboration with another student unless clearly directed by your lecturer to do so (ie joint assignments). It is not permitted to present the words of another author, either a published author or another student, as your own work, except where full acknowledgement of the other's work is made. To ensure that individual work is properly recognised, you should follow the UTas guidelines.
An assignment cover must be used when submitting an assignment, and you must sign the plagiarism statement. Most lecturers will not accept an assignment unless a signed cover is attached.

As far as possible, express your own ideas in your own words. Unacknowledged recitation or close paraphrasing of the work of others, either published authors or your fellow students will not achieve this. You are not always expected to demonstrate originality of ideas (which in general would be unreasonably demanding test at undergraduate level), but to use information as required and to argue your own case. |

Never hand in an assignment or practical report that you know to be the same as, or closely similar to, another student's work. When two or more substantially similar assignments are noted, the students will be subject to the University procedures for academic or general misdemeanors. To guard against this occurring, do not leave completed assignments or reports in a place where they could easily be copied, and do not provide copies of your assignments to other students. |
