ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO TAKE CAREFUL NOTE OF:
What is plagiarism?
Contrary to popular student belief getting caught and being punished for
committing plagiarism is not a rare occurrence. The Marketing Division
typically uncovers and reports for disciplinary action between 6 and 12
students each year for ‘plagiarism’ means on the University web-site at the
following address:
pdf
We strongly recommend that you read the full document at the above
address. Summarised below are some of the key points. You will have
committed plagiarism and may be caught, reported and punished (as
described below) if you:
· Copy extensively from the work of others (from sources such as books,
magazines, journals, web-sites for example) and submit the work as your
own. NB It is acceptable to refer to the work of others as long as you do
not use too much, and reference your sources properly. If you do not know
how to do this, please follow the guidelines given in the document entitled
‘Adding quotations and references to your written work’ on the web-site at
this address:
· Copy another student’s work and submit it for assessment under your own
name.
· Allow another student to copy your work and they then submit it for
assessment under their name.
The last item is of particular importance; few students seem to understand
what it means. You should be aware that if, for example, you allow another
student to borrow your work and they subsequently copy some of that work
and present it as their own, you and they will both be punished even though
they copied your work.
What happens if you get caught?
Examination Boards may punish offending students in a number of ways.
Typically, punishments range from reducing grades, making students re-sit
modules, through to failing students on a module or an entire award.
The University regards this form of cheating as a serious offence.
Please consider yourself warned!
Ethics Approval
In general any proposal which: involves human or animal participants, their
‘products’ (e.g. body samples, written records, etc); has a direct impact on
individuals (e.g. research that will evaluate imposed changes to people’s
working environment), or uses contemporary material that may implicate living
subjects or organisations; will need ethical approval. Such research activity
cannot be ‘disclaimed’. For these projects the University requires all students,
staff and supervisors to apply for Ethical Approval using the fast track
approval form or, if appropriate, the full ethical approval application form.
Only where there are no ethical implications should the disclaimer be signed.
The signing of the disclaimer implies that ethical principles have been
reviewed in relation to the ‘proposed’ work and no issues have been found to
apply to the research ‘proposal’. In these cases research may then proceed.
Please note that no research should be embarked upon until approval has

been granted or a disclaimer has been submitted.
For students, where ethics approval is deemed necessary (i.e. t
