reserves, marked assignments and feedback). You should also consult and integrate material
from additional sources into your essays.
This module is NOT using the invigilator app. Please note that your answer will be submitted

Plagiarism will be severely penalised. Your essays must be your own work, in your own
words. Group work will be equally penalised as will any form of copying from any student, or
any attempt to commit academic dishonesty. No hand-written scanned-in exam answer
scripts will be accepted in this exam. Only submit word-processed, PDF-converted scripts.
You will be guided on completing a Departmental Honesty Declaration when downloading the
