Definition: Plagiarism is the use of other people’s ideas and concepts in assessed work without proper acknowledgement, so they are passed off as if they were the student’s own. This may involve not providing references for quoted text, and using, copying or rewording text from an external source, including AI sources. Please see www.plagiarism.org for more information on what is considered plagiarism.
If plagiarism is detected, it will be treated as follows:
First serious incident: the work concerned cannot contribute to achievement of a unit. Student must submit a new piece of work to achieve the unit.
Second serious incident: We will contact the TLM moderation team to discuss the best approach, which may result in coursework not being passed.
In considering the seriousness of the incidents, we will reflect on the frequency of the breach within a given piece or pieces of work, the magnitude of the breach, evidence of intent or otherwise by the learner in breaching the policy.
