Examination Guidance

1.5. Plagiarism and collusion (Assessment Offences)

Your examination answers should be entirely your own work. You will be able to use notes, books and the internet, but you are not allowed to get help from any other person. We will run statistical tests to identify trends over the examination period (e.g. to indicate if answers were shared among students). Markers will pay special attention to your calculations and workings. 

Every paper will be run through plagiarism software (Turnitin). The software will also compare your work against all other students’ submitted work. Any unattributed collaboration among students will be treated as collusion – among the most serious assessment offences.

If you have not already taken the Academic Integrity course in QMplus please find time to go though the course at your earliest convenience.
