Plagiarism consists of, but is not limited to, copying portions of the writing of others with only minor changes in wording, with :(a) Inadequate footnotes, quotes, or other reference forms of citation or (b) only a list of references. Paraphrasing without appropriate citation is also plagiarism.

With group work, where individual members submit parts of the total assignment, each member of a group must take
responsibility for checking the legitimacy of the work submitted in his/her name. If even one part of work contains plagiarised materials, penalties will normally be imposed on all group members, equally.
