16.2 Academic Misconduct
Please refer to the Code of Conduct for definitions and penalties for Academic
Misconduct, plagiarism, collusion, and other specific acts of academic dishonesty.
Academic honesty is crucial to a student's credibility and self-esteem, and ultimately
reflects the values and morals of the University as a whole. A student may work together
with one or a group of students discussing assignment content, identifying relevant
references, and debating issues relevant to the subject. Academic investigation is not
limited to the views and opinions of one individual, but is built by forming opinion based
on past and present work in the field. It is legitimate and appropriate to synthesize the
work of others, provided that such work is clearly and accurately referenced. Plagiarism
occurs when the work (including such things as text, figures, ideas, or conceptual
structure, whether verbatim or not) created by another person or persons is used and
presented as one’s own creation, unless the source of each quotation or piece of borrowed
material is acknowledged with an appropriate citation. Encouraging or assisting another
person to commit plagiarism is a form of improper collusion and may attract the same
penalties. To prevent Academic Misconduct occurring, students are expected to
familiarize themselves with the University policy, the Subject Outline statements, and
specific assignment guidelines. Students should also seek advice from Subject Leaders on
acceptable academic conduct.
16.3 Guidelines to Avoid Plagiarism
Whenever you copy more than a few words from any source, you must acknowledge that
source by putting the quote in quotation marks and providing the name of the author. Full
details must be provided in your bibliography. If you copy a diagram, statistical table,
map, etc., you must acknowledge the source. The recommended way is to show this
under the diagram. If you quote any statistics in your text, the source should be
acknowledged. Again full details must be provided in your bibliography. Whenever you
use the ideas of any other author you should acknowledge those, using the APA
(American Psychological Association) style of referencing.
Students are encouraged to co-operate, but collusion is a form of cheating. Students may
use any sources (acknowledged of course) other than the assignments of fellow students.
Unless your Subject Leader informs you otherwise, the following guideline should be
used: Students may work together in obtaining references, discussing the content of the
references and discussing the assignment, but when they write, they must write alone
16.4 Referencing For Written Work
Referencing is necessary to acknowledge others' ideas, avoid plagiarism, and allow
readers to access those others’ ideas. Referencing should:
1. Acknowledge others' ideas
2. Allow readers to find the source
3. Be consistent in format and
4. Acknowledge the source of the referencing format
To attain these qualities, the school recommends use of either the Harvard or American
Psychological Association style of referencing, both of which use the author/date.
