Plagiarism Plagiarism means using the work of others in preparing an assignment and presenting it as your own without explicitly acknowledging or referencing -- where it came from. Plagiarism can also mean not acknowledging the full extent of indebtedness to a source. Work can be plagiarised from many sources including books, articles, the World Wide Web, and other students assignments. Plagiarism can also occur unconsciously or inadvertently. Direct copying is definitely plagiarism. Paraphrasing of another work without attribution is also plagiarism. Submitting someone elses unattributed or less than fully attributed work or ideas is not evidence of your own grasp of the material and cannot earn you marks.
5.7.7
Collusion This includes copying someones work with or without acknowledgement. It includes taking someones work that had been published before. Examples include: copying all or part of someone elses assignment, allowing someone else to copy all or part of your assignment, having someone else do all or part of an assignment for you, and doing all or part of someone elses assignment for them.

Final Grade of a Module Students shall be assessed through assignments given throughout the semester. The final grade given for each Module/Subject will be derived from a summation of all assessments including mid semester and the end semester examinations.
Details of the nature, type and timing of the assessment for each Module/Subject must be given to students within the first two weeks of the commencement of the classes in each semester. All assignments must be completed and handed-in by the due dates set by the Module Assessor or specified in the academic calendar, if referral is to be avoided. 5.8.2 Modes of Assessment Whilst on the programme, students will be required to complete a series of assessment methods including tests, quizzes and assignments. Assignments are set in both core and minor Module/Subjects. These assignments will either be coursework assessments,
done whilst the teaching programme is progressing or, end semester or final assignments, done after the teaching programme in each semester has been completed.

PROGRAMME HANDBOOK YEAR 2012 5.9 Types of Coursework/In-course Assessment Coursework assessment may take on various forms but normally shall be one of the following:-
5.9.1
Home-based Assignment Here the assignment is given to students to complete in their own study time. The assessment may be based on a particular topic, or a case study or on a particular work place or simply be tasks set in relation to the topics covered by the particular Module/Subject. The hand-in date for such assignments must be strictly adhered to and normally the assignment would be given to students a minimum of three teaching weeks in advance of the hand-in date.
5.9.2
Group Assignment This can be either project based, class-based or done in the students' own time. However, it differs in that a group of students will be responsible for completion of the assignment. This is to ensure that the skill requirement for "Working and Relating to Others" is fulfilled.
5.10
Types of End Semester Final Assessment Normally, all final assignments will be individually based and shall take the following form:5.10.1 Final Examination or Time-Constrained Assessment This is similar to the class-based assignments but may be done at times other than the normal class times and in a different venue for example, an examination hall. They would normally be done under "examination type" conditions and preferably a closedbook" but may be an "open book assessments. Once again, these may be based on case studies given prior to the assessment date or tasks based on Module/Subject content. This is by far the most common form of end semester assessment but in all cases, students shall be well informed of the requirements of any such assessments well in advance of the date on which they are to be taken. 5.10.2 Home-based Final Assignment Alternatively and only if deemed appropriate by the Module/Subject Assessor, and if necessary the Programme Management Team, the final assignments may be of the home based type. This form of final assessment will be very much the exception rather than the rule.
