Plagiarism

Plagiarism is defined as the presentation of another person’s work as your own. It is a particular form of cheating.
Plagiarism must be avoided at all costs and students who break the rules, however innocently, may be penalised. It is
your responsibility to ensure that you understand correct referencing practices. As a university level student, you are
expected to use appropriate references throughout and keep carefully detailed notes of all your sources of materials
for material you have used in your work, including any material downloaded from the Internet.

In this be the case, Emirates Aviation University considers plagiarism as theft and any student found to have
plagiarised would be awarded an automatic fail for the piece of work submitted and may be excluded from further
study at the University.
