Plagiarism, Collusion, and Copying
All used sources must be properly acknowledged with references and citations. Quotations and
paraphrasing are allowed but the sources must be acknowledged. Failure to do so is regarded as
plagiarism and the penalty for plagiarism is failure for the assignment. The act of giving your
assignment to another student is classified as an offence. Copying large portions of text from other
sources will result in zero marks as you have insufficient contribution to the report.
Penalties: Academic misconduct such as cheating and plagiarism incur penalties ranging from a
zero result to program exclusion.
Late submission of assignments
The due dates given for submission are for the week of the submission. The actual date and time is
at the start of your lecture during that week. Penalties may apply for late submission without an
approved extension.
For assignments 1 to 7 days late, a penalty of up to 20% (of earned marks) will apply.
Assignments more than 7 days late will not be accepted for marking. The submission link will be
turned off. (Note the date and time of submission is recorded in Moodle). You may formally request
special consideration, but it may not be granted.
No assignment will be accepted after the end of the teaching period (week 13 of classes) unless
accompanied by completed special consideration request approved by the department.
Extensions: Special consideration extensions are granted only for reasonable cause such as illness.
A Special Consideration form, accompanied by supporting documentation, must be received before
three working days from the due date. If granted, an extension will be only granted only by the time
period stated on the documentation; that is, if the illness medical certificate was for one day, an
extension will be granted for one day only. Accordingly the student must submit within that time
limit.
