Plagiarism means claiming work to be one’s own when it has been copied from another person or another source. You should submit work written by you using your own words. If you use an information source, you should ensure that it is correctly referenced and we expect full Harvard referencing to be used.

Procedure

If, after submission of work, it is found that you have copied from elsewhere, it will not be accepted and you will be requested to submit an additional piece of work for assessment in order to continue with the course. Continuous disregard to plagiarism may result in you losing access to the course.

Academic Integrity

You are expected to be honest in all academic pursuits. Conduct such as cheating, lying, helping others to cheat, and using someone else’s words as your own (plagiarism) are examples of academic dishonesty. This includes the use of AI software and chatbots (such as ChatGPT) to generate your work.

Tutors and Assessors are required to report all episodes of academic misconduct, unintentional as well as deliberate, to OriGym’s Senior Tutoring team for review. An offence of academic dishonesty will be evaluated as to its seriousness and could ultimately result in the most severe consequence of dismissal from the course.
