What is plagiarism?

Plagiarism is the use of another person's idea or a part of their work as is your own. It is CRITICAL that your research and understand how to reference your work accurately as:

  • The nature and severity of the breach
  • The extent of plagiarism in relation to the whole assignment (if applicable)

  • Statements of mitigation or explanation and supporting documented evidence
