

direct copying of the work or thoughts of another person without appropriate quotation or
acknowledgement.
paraphrasing of another person’s work that keeps its meaning or progressive thread of ideas intact,
with very minor changes from the original
electronic ‘cutting and pasting’ of others’ work into a document that is passed off as their own work
re-presentation of a colleague’s assignment that has already been submitted for assessment of an
academic task, and presented as their own work
the presentation of a piece of work as if it were their own individual independent piece of work, when in
fact it has been produced together with other persons
claiming to have done a greater percentage of work in a group assignment than is actually the case.
