Plagiarism is the illegal and\/or unethical copying of material without acknowledgement\u00a0of its source. Plagiarism is not tolerated, and will be penalised. Therefore, it is\u00a0very important that students understand the differences between plagiarism and\u00a0acceptable use and interpretation of someone else\u2019s work.<\/p>\n
It is acceptable to use information from another source as a minor part of your own
\nwork, if the original source is properly referenced (i.e. It is made clear where that
\ninformation came from). It is not acceptable to present work which is substantially
\nlittle more than an identical copy of information (words or graphics) from another
\nsource without acknowledging the source or in such a way that the reader (or tutor)
\ncould believe it is your original work. If you are not sure on how to reference
\nmaterial please refer to our Academic Writing course.<\/p>\n
You risk a period of suspension, a monetary fine, or even expulsion from a course if
\nfound guilty of plagiarism. You will also be fully liable for any legal action taken by the\u00a0owner of material which you plagiarise. The academy accepts no legal liability for the\u00a0actions of its students during or after studies.<\/p>\n
ADL and IARC Plagiarism Policy<\/p>\n
As an accredited member of IARC (International Accreditation and Recognition Council)\u00a0ADL subscribes to IARCs plagiarism policy as follows:<\/p>\n
If you copy part of a sentence or quantities of sentences, word for word from the internet,\u00a0a book, magazine, course notes or anywhere else this is considered to be plagiarism.<\/p>\n
Plagiarism is considered by most credible academics around the world to be unacceptable,\u00a0and for this reason ADL cannot issue a formal pass and qualification to anyone who practices\u00a0plagiarism. Incidents of plagiarism have damaged the reputations of some colleges and\u00a0universities. ADL has established a very good academic reputation in part because of the\u00a0fact that we do not tolerate plagiarism.<\/p>\n
Bearing this in mind; it is in the interest of our graduates that we take a firm stand against\u00a0plagiarism. The value of the studies you pursue, and the qualification you and other students\u00a0attain, is dependant upon an anti plagiarism policy.<\/p>\n
Plagiarism is easily detected by tutors marking papers, through the use of web searches,\u00a0changes in writing style and tone and depth of technical content.<\/p>\n
If plagiarism is detected in any work by a student, the incident will be noted on the student\u2019s records.\u00a0They will be asked to rewrite and resubmit their work.<\/p>\n
When deciding the final result for a course or module, we always take into account more than just\u00a0the performance in an exam. Any student found to have plagiarised will be closely monitored to\u00a0ensure compliance before being given a pass.<\/p>\n
If a student continues to plagiarise after being warned, they are not going to learn as much as\u00a0they otherwise would from the course, and as a result it is inappropriate to give them a pass.<\/p>\n
Why Plagiarism is such an issue<\/strong> Plagiarism is not accepted though in the most respected academic circles around the world.<\/p>\n If you practice plagiarism, you will potentially devalue your potential for career development in the future.<\/p>\n If you plagiarise work when you are a student; you will be developing a bad habit, that may be difficult\u00a0to break later in your career.<\/p>\n Plagiarism is illegal in some countries, and can attract heavy fines or legal action.<\/strong><\/p>\n Please note:<\/strong> 1:- The assignment not gaining a mark and considered VOID.<\/p>\n In the instance of Plagiarism found apparent in examinations: Plagiarism is the illegal and\/or unethical copying of material without acknowledgement\u00a0of its source.

\nSome colleges may accept some degree of plagiarism; more so in some countries than others.\u00a0This may be due to a cultural attitude, or perhaps just an ignorance of the problem.\u00a0Copying work does not enhance learning in the same way as reinterpreting researched information\u00a0derived from a variety of different sources. It is important for a student to clearly understand the\u00a0difference between plagiarism and research.<\/p>\n
\nIn common with all ADL courses it is essential that the work is your own. You can use resources and books to help with the work (but you must reference them). The main body of the project and\u00a0conclusions must be your own work. Plagiarism is not acceptable and you will be asked to resubmit your assignment if the tutor detects copied work. Repeated occurrences of plagiarism will result in the following penalties:<\/p>\n
\n2:- The MODULE or Certificate will be considered FAILED and grades already obtained lost.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
