It can be tempting to help students on your course, but you should not share your work with anyone and be careful in group work assignments. There are also many resources online to assist you with Harvard and APA referencing. You can also utilise the support of the UEL Academic Tutors and your academic adviser for more assistance.
For the best possible chance at academic success, we recommend following these simple rules: You should use Turnitin ahead of your submission to check your “originality index” and correct any areas where you have not referenced correctly. What can I do to avoid Academic Misconduct?Įveryone wants to do well at University and pass their course. This means that by submitting work early and using Turnitin effectively you can ensure your work is properly cited before final submission. Turnitin analyses a database of submitted work from across the academic world as well as the internet and will detect matches that have not been correctly cited or acknowledged.
Intentional or not, plagiarism is normally detected when your work is submitted via Turnitin. While unintentional, this is still academic misconduct. We have often had cases where a student copies and pastes text from another source, intending to return to it later and rewrite it into their own words but then forgets to do so. It can also be unintentional, where students may forget to correctly cite their sources using the proper referencing format. Plagiarism can be intentional such as taking the ideas or words of another person and passing them off as your own without citing your source.
Plagiarism is including someone else’s work in your assessment without proper acknowledgement of that work or person.
