Guidelines For Student Avoidance Of Plagiarism

A. What is Plagiarism?

Plagiarism is the unacknowledged use of another person’s ideas, words or work. The work submitted by a candidate, if not his or her own, must make clear acknowledgment of the work of others by means, for example, of bibliographic notes or the use of quotation marks with acknowledgment of the original author. Plagiarism may embrace more than a candidate copying the work of others and presenting it as his or her own in dissertation, projects,

- 6 -

Page 7: DICT Handbook Aug 2010

essays or other submitted work. It also includes reproducing an author’s written material from memory in the examination room in verbatim or near form without acknowledgment. In short, students must not pass off the written works of others as their own either inside or outside the examination room.

B. Methods To Avoid Plagiarism by Students

1. Students should be informed of the consequences of plagiarisms especially in term papers, group projects, report etc.

2. They should be shown the methods in the acknowledgment of another person’s work or idea, e.g. the work to be within quotation marks followed by in brackets, the author’s name and year of publication. The source is then cited in the bibliography section.

3. They should be shown the methods of expressing ideas in their own words and not to copy word for word from a text.

4. In a group project, students should write down the names of the members of the groups to indicate a common source of the data. However, the use and interpretation of the data must be in each student’s own words. He or she must do the write-up individually without reference to others in the group except where due acknowledgement is made.

5. To discourage plagiarism, the title page of all assignments presented for assessment must include the following statement and be signed by the student :

“ I declare that this is my own work except where due references are made”.

C. Procedure for handling Plagiarism

1. The lecturer/tutor refers the piece of work to Head of the Department / Dean of Faculty;

2. If the student is guilty of plagiarism then a grade of zero will be given for that piece of work;

3. The student will be informed in writing of this decision;4. The student has the right to appeal through proper consultation with

HOP/PO.
