Students are reminded that all work submitted for assessment must be entirely that of the student submitting. It is cheating to make use of the work of any other student or to copy material from any source that is not properly attributed or referenced; it is also cheating to submit work written or prepared by anyone else as if it were the student’s own work.
Please be sure you attribute all sources used and that you footnote/endnote and add to a bibliography all the sources, citations and materials that you have made reference to.
Clear referencing in the text will be expected with a list of references at the end of the assignment. It is recommended that you use the Harvard System. Marking criteria are based on the criteria set in the postgraduate credit framework as stated below.
