Plagiarism is the most serious academic offence. It is the equivalent of stealing someone’s

work and fraudulently pretending that it is your own in order to gain higher marks than you

deserve. Copying, word for word, large chunks of writing from any source (e.g. paper, book,

the internet) without acknowledgement of the author or owner, is plagiarism. With modern

technology this has become increasingly easy to do and anyone who suspects that it is

happening should seek advice immediately. This also applies to a situation where you have

lent someone your work to help them and they have substantially reproduced it without

acknowledgement.

All students should be aware that the Bangor Business School imposes penalties on any

student who is guilty of plagiarizing work or of engaging in unfair practice in any

assessment. You should be aware that cheating has resulted in disqualification from the

degree.
