53. WHAT IS PLAGIARISM?
 The presentation of the work of another person or other
persons as if it were one’s own, whether intended or not. This
includes published or unpublished work, material on the Internet
and the work of other students or staff.
 It is still plagiarism even if you re-structure the material or
present it in your own style or words.
 It is, however, perfectly acceptable to include the work of
others as long as that is acknowledged by appropriate
referencing.

54. REFERENCING STYLES
 Make sure you know what referencing style you are
expected to use (student handbook, supervisor)
 Find sources to check your referencing in either print or
online.
 The Library has a webpage too.
