Assessment Irregularity:

Cheating and plagiarism, i.e. the action or practice of taking and using as one's own the
thoughts, writings or other work of someone else with the intent to deceive, constitute
irregularities as described in the programme handbook. Such actions are a major
infringement of the university college's academic values and will be dealt with severely.

Plagiarism and/or cheating occur when:

* a computer program or part of a program, substantially written by


someone else (either another student, a previous student, the author of a
publication or some other person) is presented as one's own work;

* paragraphs, and even sentences in essays which are written by someone


else, are not enclosed in quotation marks, and accompanied by full
reference to source;

* the work of someone else is paraphrased, and is not appropriately


attributed and referenced.

Group Work:

By signing the cover sheet, group members are indicating that they agree that each
member of the group made a fair and reasonable contribution to the assignment or
project. In cases of doubt or dispute, individual members of the group may be required to
undergo an oral examination regarding their contribution to the assignment or project.
Note:
All marks are provisional until ratified by the exam board at the end of the session
