\nmeet most of the Learning Outcomes for this module. Your work has not followed good academic
\npractice in terms of citation and referencing, presentation format and clear, accurate English.
\nAvoiding plagiarism
\nWhen you write an essay, report or dissertation you should always cite the published sources to which you
\nquote, refer to or use as evidence, otherwise you are likely to be committing plagiarism, which is a form of
\nacademic misconduct with potentially very serious consequences. References need to be made both within
\nthe text and in a list at the end.
\nThe aim in doing this is to ensure that somebody reading your work can easily find these sources for
\nthemselves. This applies to whether you are using a book, a report, a journal article or an Internet site. You will
\nprobably know from your own experience how much easier it is to find a reference when a reading list or
\nbibliography is clear and unambiguous. There is help available from the library and online, including a range of
\nvideos such as those given below:
\nhttps:\/\/mykingston.kingston.ac.uk\/library\/help_and_training\/Pages\/referencing.aspx.
\nhttp:\/\/www.citethemrightonline.com\/basics
\nDo remember you can submit your work as many times as you like before the final deadline. It is a good idea
\nto check your Originality Report and ensure that any potential plagiarism is eradicated for your work by
\nrewriting in your own words and referencing correctly. The staff on the BLASC desk in the LRC will be able to
\nadvise on this and on all aspects of academic writing.
\nThe best way to avoid academic misconduct or plagiarism is to use your own words at all times; do not cut
\nand paste from other work.
\nIllness or other mitigating circumstances
\nBy submitting an assignment you are declaring yourself fit to take the assessment therefore please make sure
\nthat if you are unwell you understand our mitigating circumstances process. The most important thing to do is
\nkeep us informed if you are experiencing problems! See our regulations on this link:
\nhttp:\/\/www.kingston.ac.uk\/aboutkingstonuniversity\/howtheuniversityworks\/policiesandregulations
\nGroup work and academic misconduct
\nWork submitted by a group is the responsibility of the group as a whole. In the unfortunate event of the work
\nbeing judged to have been plagiarised, the only circumstance in which it is possible that the responsibility for
\nthe misconduct would only fall on the group member who actually committed it, would be if there were clear
\nevidence that that member had dishonestly misled the rest of the group as to the source of his her
\ncontribution. This would require clear and contemporaneous evidence of group discussions of the sort which
\nshould be available if groups follow the advice given about keeping a log of group proceedings. If the group
\nwork is simply allocated amongst the members of the group without any sort of group review of the outcomes,
\nthen all the group members are taking on themselves the risk that some element of the work is tainted by
\nacademic misconduct. If you are unclear about any of this, you should refer to the University\u2019s guide to
\nPlagiarism for further explanation. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
