Statement regarding dishonest practice
The School’s interpretation of what constitutes dishonest practice includes the following:

Plagiarism: Using the words or ideas of others and presenting them as your own.

Collusion: Work undertaken in whole or in part in conjunction with another person or persons, but
submitted as if it had been completed by the named author alone.

Ghost writing: The use of another party to prepare all or part of an item of work submitted for
assessment.
Under the University Regulations, evidence of any of these or other forms of dishonest practice by any
student represents grounds for disciplinary action and may result in penalties ranging from denial of credit for
the work in question to exclusion from the University.
I declare that this assignment is entirely my own work and written in my own words except where I have used
the ideas, diagrams and words of others. In that case, I have acknowledged the source of the ideas,
diagrams and words in every instance.
This assignment has been prepared exclusively for this course and has not been or will not be submitted as
assessed work for any other academic course.
I am aware of what constitutes dishonest academic practice, and the penalties for plagiarism and cheating
as described in University regulations and publications.
I am aware that what is contained in this assignment may be checked against an electronic database.
