Plagiarism Warning You are reminded that plagiarism is a serious offence. Plagiarism occurs when you take sentences or paragraphs or even the whole article written by another person and pass it off as your own work without acknowledging the author or the original source. This is actually cheating and is a breach of examination rules that will not be condoned by the Polytechnic. Any student who cheats, attempts to cheat or breaches any examination rules will face disciplinary action. You are to cite all your sources in instances where you have used text, images, diagrams and other types of information from the Internet or other published sources. You should cite and paraphrase your sources to avoid plagiarism. Please refer to deck on plagiarism on Brightspace for more details. Do note that violation of the guidelines set out in SP’s Policy on Use of AI Tools for Academic Work is tantamount to plagiarism and will be dealt with accordingly under Breach of Examination/Assessment Rules as stated in the SP Student Handbook. You must not use AI tools to plagiarise or cheat in your academic work by presenting the generated output as your original work. You should display academic honesty by acknowledging the use of AI tools in your academic work. Do note that AI tools should be used to extend learning, not to replace critical thinking and analysis, creativity and independent research skills. In conducting research for your assignments, do be guided by the requirements in the assessment rubrics for research (e.g., credible and relevant research). Students who knowingly assisted in the plagiarism will also be penalised. Hence, do not provide your work to any other student for any purpose whatsoever as you will be held accountable in the event that you have copied another person’s work or allowed your work to be copied by another student.
