Plagiarism: The university takes plagiarism, copying someone else’s work and representing it as your own, very seriously. This applies to all work submitted for the course. Plagiarism, academic dishonesty, or cheating will result in an automatic grade of F for the course. If a student’s work is suspected of plagiarism, the student as well the Institute’s office will be notified of the offence and it will be the student’s responsibility to demonstrate evidence reflecting the originality of the work, such as all notes and other materials utilized in developing the submitted work. 4.
