Plagiarism refers to the use of another person’s thoughts, ideas, writings or images as
one’s own. Examples of plagiarism include the use of another person’s material (e.g.
paper, book, website) whether in original or summary form without referencing the
original source. Plagiarism also includes the copying of another student’s work, as well
as one’s own previous works without explicit reference to these works (selfplagiarism).
The correct use of the Harvard Referencing System regarding in-text citations, direct
quotes and final references will prevent the incorrect use of work from others. The
software URKUND, which detects levels of similarity to existing work, is one of the
instruments which will be used in the process of assessing assignments. If you have any
queries regarding the correct use of references, please contact the module coordinator
or the library services.
