The Department of Curriculum and Instructional Studies places specific

emphasis on integrity and ethical behaviour with regard to the preparation of all
written work submitted for academic assessment.

Although your lecturers can provide you with information about reference techniques
and guidelines to avoid plagiarism, you also have a responsibility to fulfil in this
regard. Please visit the Study @ Unisa page and carefully study the policy on
plagiarism before completing any assignment. Should you at any time feel unsure
about the requirements, you must consult your lecturers before you submit any
assignment.

You are guilty of plagiarism when you extract information from a book, article, web
page or fellow student without acknowledging the source and submit it as your own
work. In truth, you are stealing someone else’s property. You may not use another
student’s work. You may not allow anyone to copy or use your work with the
intention to submit it as his/her own.

Students who are guilty of plagiarism will forfeit all credit for the work concerned.
Plagiarism is a serious violation of the University’s regulations and may lead to
expulsion.

The under-mentioned declaration must accompany written assignments. Your
