NOTES WHICH APPLY TO DIETS 1 AND 2:

Plagiarism and the use of ‘Turnitin’

Plagiarism occurs when someone copies or reproduces another person’s words or ideas and
presents them as their own with no proper acknowledgement via citation and referencing. In
various universities students have been heavily penalised where plagiarism has been found. To
ensure that you are not at risk of being accused of plagiarism you must always declare all the
sources from which you have obtained material or ideas. Students should consult their student
handbook for details of the manner in which plagiarism cases are dealt with at QMU. The
appropriate section is to be found in the student handbook in Regulations, Section 24.
http://www.qmu/quality/documents/Regulations-2010.pdf
Further information on referring to published material is available at: 
http://www.qmu.ac.uk/lb/information/Guides/harvard_ref_guide.pdf

QMU provides ‘Turnitin’ as an academic resource to allow students to consider how they use
secondary literature – this includes material from the internet, journals magazines, books and
any other form of printed material. This enables you to check your own work to see if it
is faulty.  Students are advised that it is their responsibility to engage with Turnitin. Students
must make a final Turnitin report via that module’s WebCT site.  Reference will be made to this
report if staff marking your work suspect there is plagiarism. In addition, students should be
aware that where staff suspect plagiarism or the purchase of assignments, Turnitin and a wide
variety of other resources will be used to check work.

Attendance Policy

Undergraduate students in the School of Business, Enterprise and Management must attend a
minimum of 75% of interactive classes (i.e. all classes except lectures)

Extensions

Extensions are only granted for extenuating circumstances that are beyond a student’s control.
In general, though not exclusively, extenuating circumstances will be of a medical or personal
nature affecting the student for a period of time and/or during assessment. Examples include,
but are not limited to, a serious illness, accident or bereavement. Independent documented
evidence is required in advance of the exam/submission date. Students who consider they have
suffered from circumstances beyond their control; who wish to apply for an extension on the
grounds of extenuating circumstances should refer to the Extenuating Circumstances
Guidelines available on the internet at www.qmu.ac.uk/quality, or from the School Office.
Word limits

The word limit for an assignment is part of the assessment criteria. There is a tolerance of 10%
in excess of the word limit (e.g. 4000 word limit = + or - 400 words). Under QMU regulations,
any excess over the word limit beyond the 10% will result in a maximum mark of 40%. You
should state the number of words on the front of your assessment.

Late submission of assignment

If assignments are submitted after the due date but within one calendar week (i.e. up to 6 days
after the submission date) a maximum mark of 40% can be achieved. If submitted after one
calendar week (i.e. 7 days or more) a mark of 0% will be awarded.
