Information on submitting your assignments through TurnItIn.
Plagiarism is the offence of publishing another writer’s findings, opinions or words as if they were one’s own and original. Failure to acknowledge and correctly attribute another writer’s work is tantamount to plagiarism and the plagiarist will be severely penalised. Severe cases may lead to failure of your degree.
