Plagiarism and Collusion

The University takes a very serious view of plagiarism (passing off someone else’s ideas as your
own, or recycling of contents from your own earlier marked TMA from the same course or
another course) and collusion (submitting an assignment which is the same or very similar to
another student’s). These are very serious academic offences. Please refer to the Student
Handbook on the penalties of plagiarism or collusion.
