Please note the rules on plagiarism
The application should be implemented individually. This is not a group/team effort. Any material which is
a direct copy from someone else (student or other source) or a close paraphrase/code must be indicated
where it is quoted i.e., it must be made clear what material is a quotation or close paraphrase e.g. by showing
the text in italics or in quotation marks. It is not sufficient to show the source in a list of references or
bibliography. If you are unclear, please discuss your examples with your seminar tutor or the module leader.
Plagiarism is a serious offence and conviction for plagiarism may lead to suspension from the University,
even for a first offence (please see the section on Academic Misconduct in the Student Handbook).
