Plagiarism Writing

Summary

1. Plagiarism occurs if you use somebody else’s work in an assignment or exam answer, but

fail to state where you got the material from. You need to be also very careful about the

amount of words you are using from somebody else’s work.

2. It can happen in any type of assessment where you are given the questions or tasks in

advance.

3. If another student uses your work in his/her answer(s), both you and he/she will be

punished when caught.

4. Punishments for committing plagiarism can be very severe.

Details

Plagiarism is a form of cheating in which students use the work of others and present it as their

own. It may include all or any one of the following –

1. Copy extensively from the work of others (from sources such as books, magazines,

journal, web-sites etc) and submit the work as your own.

2. Copy another students’ work and submit it for assessment under your own name.

3. Allow another student to copy your work and then submit it for assessment under their

own name.

What happens if you get caught?

The examining body of CBFS may punish offending students in any manner that they deem fit.

Typical punishments may range from reduction in grades, making students re-sit modules and

even failing students on a module or an entire award. The college considers this form of cheating

as a serious offence. Therefore be forewarned!
