Plagiarism Policy
Everyone knows that plagiarism is something to be avoided, but not everyone is sure precisely what it is. Plagiarism is a specific form of cheating which is almost wholly found in respect of course assignments completed by students independently. According to the University of Greenwich plagiarism includes, but is not limited to:
1. Using published work without referencing (the most common).
2. Copying coursework essays.
3. Collaborating with any other person when the work is supposed to be individual.
4. Taking another person's computer file/program.
5. Submitting another person's work as one's own.
6. The use of unacknowledged material published on the web.
7. Purchase of model assignments from whatever source.
8. Copying another student's results.
9. Falsifying results.
