  1. UWE BristolAcademic integrity [These slides are available for use on their own, or to insert into induction/presentation materials for students.] Name Title

  2. Academic integrity • The University values a culture of honest and mutual trust, (Academic Integrity), and expects all members of the University to respect and uphold these core values. (Academic Regulations and Procedures; G1.1) • UWE Assessment Offences Policy http://www2.uwe.ac.uk/services/Marketing/about-us/pdf/Policies/Assessment_offences_policy.pdf

  3. Good academic practice • High quality assignments are achieved by using a wide range of resources • Drawing ideas from others is an accepted and acceptable aspect of creating new knowledge • However, it is important to make it clear what is taken from other people, ie give them credit • This is done through systems of “referencing”

  4. You need to reference your sources when… • …including other people’s views, concepts, ideas, theories, etc • …using facts, statistics, pictures, diagrams, etc, from other sources (including the Internet) • …directly quoting the words of another person (written or spoken) • …paraphrasing another person or summarising their words or ideas

  5. Benefits of referencing • Demonstrates • your respect for other’s ideas • the breadth of the resources you have used • your ability to synthesise knowledge by drawing together and appropriately using different ideas • good assessment practice which therefore gains marks • Avoids accusations of an assessment offence (cheating), e.g. Collusion or Plagiarism

  6. Assessment offences • Plagiarism “Passing off someone else’s work whether intentionally or unintentionally as your own, for your own benefit” Carroll,J.(2002) • Collusion “Working together to produce assessed work in circumstances where this is forbidden.” Barrett & Cox (2005)

  7. Avoiding plagiarism • Understand more about plagiarism • Learn to reference correctly • Workshops and resources to help you with this are widely available at UWE on the study skills web site: • http://www1.uwe.ac.uk/students/studysupport/studyskills.aspx
