Plagiarism & Collusion

The university considers plagiarism & collusion as serious offences that could lead to expulsion from the programme. Students should ensure that the assignments submitted are their own work. Students should check every page and verify that it is their own work.

What is Plagiarism: It is the use of someone else’s work in its entirety or some parts in exact form or in very close form, as your own without acknowledgment to original author(s). Examples of plagiarism in assignments include the use of other authors: phrases, facts and illustrations, statistics, and assembled materials, without acknowledging them.

What is Collusion: It is the use of other person’s work or ideas with the consent of the other person(s), without formally acknowledging them in your own work. Although students can discuss their ideas and group projects freely with anyone, when it comes to writing the report, each student or each group must use their own words to produce their respective reports. Sharing the same phrases or paragraphs or sections of texts and illustrations (without any acknowledgments) in different group reports constitute collusion.
