Plagiarism

- copy another student’s work,
- fail to properly cite other people’s work or give proper credit to the original source,

Group work
- Each group member must actively participate in the completion of the assignment. Free-riding is unethical and extremely unfair to fellow group members.
- Each group member is expected to keep the contact numbers and e-mail addresses of the other members of the group.
- The group leader has the responsibility to ensure that all group members play a part in the completion of the assignment. The group leader is also responsible to ensure that all members’ names are written on the final submission.
- It is the responsibility of each group member to ensure that the final submission is complete and of the acceptable standard. Should any errors or omission occurred in the final submission, each group member is held accountable for negligence – in other words, failure to perform their responsibilities as expected.
