Assessment Details

skills:

 Problem solving and analytical ability – able to use information in a range of media and
apply logical and critical thinking to a range of problems and to consider multiple perspectives
as they apply to both practical and theoretical challenges.
 Creativity Skills – Often, analysing requires a creative eye to spot trends in the data that
others may not find. Creativity is also important when it comes to problem-solving. Student

evaluating information and then making a decision based on your findings. Critical thinking

Plagiarism

1. Plagiarism, which can be defined as using without acknowledgement another person’s words or
ideas and submitting them for assessment as though it were one’s own work, for instance by
copying, translating from one language to another or unacknowledged paraphrasing. Further
examples of plagiarism are given below:

Use of any quotation(s) from the published or unpublished work of other persons, whether
published in textbooks, articles, the Web, or in any other format, which quotations have not been
clearly identified as such by being placed in quotation marks and acknowledged.

Use of another person’s words or ideas that have been slightly changed or paraphrased to make it
look different from the original.

Summarising another person’s ideas, judgments, diagrams, figures, or computer programmes

without reference to that person in the text and the source in a bibliography or reference list.

Use of services of essay banks and/or any other agencies.

Use of unacknowledged material downloaded from the Internet.

Re-use of one’s own material except as authorised by the department.

2. Collusion, which can be defined as when work that has been undertaken by or with others is
submitted and passed off as solely as the work of one person. This also applies where the work of
one candidate is submitted in the name of another. Where this is done with the knowledge of the
originator both parties can be considered to be at fault.

3. Fabrication of data, making false claims to have carried out experiments, observations, interviews or
other forms of data collection and analysis, or acting dishonestly in any other way.

Plagiarism Detection Software (PDS)

As part of its commitment to quality and the maintenance of academic standards, the University reserves
the right to use Plagiarism Detection Software (PDS), including Turnitin. Such software makes no judgment as
to whether a piece of work has been plagiarised; it simply highlights sections of text that have been found in
other sources.

The use of plagiarism detection software fulfills two functions. The first is to enhance student learning (i.e. as
a developmental tool); the second is to guard against and identify unfair practice in assessment.

Further information and guidance can be found in the University’s policy on the Use of Plagiarism Detection
Software.
