Cheating in an exam

An explanation through your written statement that demonstrates that there was no breach of exam regulations.

Impersonation

An explanation through your written statement that demonstrates there was no case of impersonation, and any evidence that supports this.

Fabrication

Evidence that demonstrates the work has not been fabricated (e.g. through gathered literature, methodological approaches, data collection and/or analysis).

Collusion

Evidence that explains why your work has shown a similarity to the work of another student.

Submission of work produced by a third party

Evidence that demonstrates how your work can be identified as being your own. E.g. draft work (not saved or edited since the submission date) discussions with the tutor about specifics within the work. An AI transcript or proofreading track changes where used. A list of references is not sufficient, as it does not demonstrate authorship, or how they were used.

Plagiarism

Evidence that demonstrates how you have attempted to show where the ideas, concepts and information in your work have originated from. Where text was used from a source, the text identified in that source and then also in the work with the correct citation & reference.
