Avoiding plagiarism


“An academic integrity”



Learners need to develop academic integrity skills to avoid misconduct which can lead to low grades or discontinuation.

Academic integrity is the moral code or ethical policy of academia (Openlearning, 2018).
“All referred works must be cited, be it a tweet, an image, sound, a book or an article” and listed on a reference.

Any type of cheating that occurs in relation to any formal academic exercise is academic dishonesty (Openlearning, 2018).
Example: plagiarism, cheating, impersonation and deception

Plagiarism
