2006. Please note that retrospective claims will not normally be considered, especially in cases where the claim is being made after the release of the results for the assessment in question. It is very important that you read Section 16 of the Handbook of Academic Regulations, on Mitigating Circumstances, to find out what to do if you miss the deadline for any piece of work; in most cases it is crucial that you submit the work or participate in the assessment as soon as you possibly can. Late work will not normally be accepted if it is received more than five working days after the original coursework deadline. If other students have already had their marked work returned, the same assignment cannot be marked once submitted late. Your MC claim will be considered by the Mitigating Circumstances Board. The Mitigating Circumstances Board makes a decision on your claim that is later communicated to the Assessment Board which meets at the end of the year to formally ratify all of the results for your course. The University-wide criteria by which claims will be judged have been standardised for reasons of fairness and these are published in detail in Section 16 of the Handbook of Academic Regulations, which you should read before submitting any claim. The criteria for acceptance or rejection of an MC claim reflect work-based standards of conduct and performance, and only those circumstances which are demonstrably serious and likely to have affected your academic performance will be considered. If you do submit an MC claim, you should not assume that it is necessarily going to be accepted; it is your responsibility to make sure that you complete all assessment requirements in a module as far as possible. 10.9 Cheating and Plagiarism If carried out knowingly, cheating and plagiarism have the objectives of deceiving examiners and this threatens the integrity of the assessment procedures and the value of the University’s awards. While you are studying here your academic performance will be assessed on the basis of your own work. Students who cheat are trying to gain an unfair advantage over other students. This is a serious offence within the University, and anyone caught cheating in exams/in-class tests or through coursework assignments will be prosecuted in accordance with Section 18 of the University Academic Regulations. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are not vulnerable to any alleged breaches of the assessment regulations. Serious penalties are imposed on those who cheat. These may include failure in a module or an element of a module, suspension or exclusion from your course and withdrawal of academic credits awarded previously for modules which have been passed. Typical breaches are described below: 10.9.1 Plagiarism Plagiarism is a particular form of cheating. Plagiarism must be avoided at all costs and students who break the rules, however innocently, will be penalised. You must keep a careful record of all the sources you use, including all internet material. It is your responsibility to ensure that you understand correct referencing practices. These are outlined in section 11.4 of this Handbook. Please consult the relevant Module Leader or your Course Leader if you need any further advice. As a University level student, you are expected to use appropriate references and keep carefully detailed notes of all your sources of material, including any material downloaded from the WWW. Plagiarism is defined as submission for assessment of material (written, visual or oral) originally produced by another person or persons, without acknowledgement, in such a way that the work could be assumed to be the student’s own. Plagiarism may involve the unattributed use of another person’s work, ideas, opinions, theory, facts, statistics, graphs, models, paintings, performance, computer code, drawings, quotations of another person’s actual spoken or written words, or paraphrases of another person’s spoken or written words. If you use text or data or drawings or designs or artefacts without properly acknowledging who produced the material, then you are likely to be accused of plagiarism. This can be avoided by making clear the sources of information used (e.g. books, articles, interviews, reports, WWW DPI_Hbook 34 ©University of Westminster
eference, or government publications). All must be properly referenced (as described in section 11.4 of this handbook) not only in a bibliography but also by quotation marks in the text or in a footnote. NB An essay or report cannot consist merely of summaries of other people’s ideas and texts. You must demonstrate your own critical engagement with, and evaluation of, the material you are presenting or discussing. Plagiarism Detection Service To help eradicate plagiarism and thereby protect the value of your qualification some modules include the requirement that your coursework must be submitted electronically and checked by the UK universities’ JISC Plagiarism Detection Service. You must submit your coursework in electronic form to the JISC system which will check your work for its originality. Students should seek guidance from their Course or Module Leader or follow the instructions on the Online Learning Website www.wmin.ac.uk/oll or the Academic Registrar’s Website www.wmin.ac.uk/academicregistrars , or their School website, where appropriate. 10.9.2 Working Together Discussing ideas is part of academic life at University and you are allowed to exchange sources and references. However, you must recognise the distinction between sharing ideas, and collusion. This means that you must not work with others to the extent of exchanging written materials you have prepared, such as notes or drafts of assignments. If these types of materials are shared this will be regarded as an assessment offence for the person who lends the material as well as for the person who uses it. Your own work must be regarded as your own property and you should protect it. If you are working in a shared space log off from the PC you are working on whenever you take a break so that others cannot access or copy your work; take care to destroy printed drafts or copies of work, rather than just discarding them; and, don’t give your work to others on disk. If you are working on a group assignment make sure you understand the allocation of responsibilities between yourself and the other members of the group. 10.9.3 Cheating in exams or in-class tests You must not communicate with other students during an exam or test. You must not take into the exam or test room any materials, notes or aids other than those officially authorised in the examination paper. If an invigilator observes you with any prohibited materials, notes or equipment, or observes you communicating with another student, you will be prosecuted in accordance with Section 18 of the University Academic Regulations.
