DECLARATION ON PLAGIARISM
PLAGIARISM INFORMATION
Plagiarism is considered to be a serious form of academic misconduct and is treated as such by the University of
Johannesburg. Academic honesty and integrity are therefore expected of students in this module. Plagiarism
means that the ideas, writings, works or inventions of others are represented as one’s own. In order to avoid
plagiarism, a scholar MUST acknowledge the author or the source of any information. However, it is not sufficient
to acknowledge the source – if the exact words from the source are used by the scholar, this must be indicated in
the text using quotation marks. It is further incumbent on the scholar to keep accurate records of sources of
information and use referencing techniques to avoid plagiarism. Plagiarism is considered immoral, unethical and
illegal. The University’s Policy on plagiarism will be uploaded on ULink for you in order to promote the
understanding and prevention of plagiarism. Furthermore, the concept of plagiarism will be discussed in the contact
sessions. In the event of plagiarism, a mark of zero will be given.
