The Department of Curriculum and Instructional Studies emphasizes integrity and ethical
behavior in preparing 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 in this regard. If you feel unsure about the
requirements, consult your lecturers before submitting 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 submitting it as your work. In truth, you are stealing
someone else’s property. You may not use another student’s work.
In addition, you may not allow anyone to copy or use your work to submit it as their own.
Students guilty of plagiarism will forfeit all credit for the work concerned. Plagiarism is a

declaration must accompany written assignments. Your assignment will be cancelled and
returned unmarked if you do not include a fully completed and signed declaration form.
