Cheating and plagiarism (presenting another person\u2019s words or ideas as one\u2019s own) are not acceptable behaviour at anywhere. Depending on the severity of the offence such acts can result in a grade of zero on the test or assignment, a failing grade (F) in the course, or expulsion. In all cases, the circumstances and the penalty are recorded in the student\u2019s file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting from 2024, all submissions will be checked against previous submissions for duplication. If caught, you will be charged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Policy for Late\/Re-submission<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are affected by personal issues such as sickness, injuries, the passing of a relative, or other traumatising experiences, you should contact an advisor and seek professional help, and I will try to accommodate as much as possible.
