Academic referencing
In your written work you will need to support your ideas by referring to scholarly literature, works of art and/or inventions. It is important that you understand how to correctly refer to the work of others and maintain academic integrity. Failure to appropriately acknowledge the ideas of others constitutes academic dishonesty (plagiarism), a matter considered by the University of Tasmania as a serious offence. For information on presentation of assignments, including referencing styles: http://utas.libguides.com/referencing Please read the following statement on plagiarism. Should you require clarification please see your unit coordinator or lecturer.

Academic misconduct
Academic misconduct includes cheating, plagiarism, allowing another student to copy work for an assignment or an examination and any other conduct by which a student: a) seeks to gain, for themselves or for any other person, any academic advantage or advancement to which they or that other person are not entitled; or b) improperly disadvantages any other student. Students engaging in any form of academic misconduct may be dealt with under the Ordinance of Student Discipline, and this can include imposition of penalties that range from a deduction/cancellation of marks to exclusion from a unit or the University. Details of penalties that can be imposed are available in the Ordinance of Student Discipline Part 3 Academic Misconduct, see http://www.utas.edu.au/universitycouncil/legislation/ Plagiarism is a form of cheating. It is taking and using someone else's thoughts, writings or inventions and representing them as your own; for example, using an author's words without putting them in quotation marks and citing the source, using an author's ideas without proper acknowledgment and citation, copying another student's work. If you have any doubts about how to refer to the work of others in your assignments, please consult your lecturer or tutor for relevant referencing guidelines, and the academic integrity resources on the web at: http://www.academicintegrity.utas.edu.au/ The intentional copying of someone elses work as ones own is a serious offence punishable by penalties that may range from a fine or deduction/cancellation of marks and, in the most serious of cases, to exclusion from a unit, a course or the University. The University and any persons authorised by the University may submit your assessable works to a plagiarism checking service, to obtain a report on possible instances of plagiarism. Assessable works may also be included in a reference database. It is a condition of this arrangement that the original authors permission is required before a work within the database can be viewed. For further information on this statement and general referencing guidelines, see http://www.utas.edu.au/plagiarism/ or follow the link under Policy, Procedures and Feedback on the Current Students homepage.

Further information and assistance

If you are experiencing difficulties with your studies or assignments, have personal or life planning issues, disability or illness which may affect your course of study, you are advised to raise these with your lecturer in the first instance. There is a range of University-wide support services available to you including Teaching & Learning, Student Services, and International Services. Please refer to the Current Students homepage at: http://www.utas.edu.au/students/ Should you require assistance in accessing the Library visit their website for more information at: http://www.utas.edu.au/library/
