Development Assignment
Question 1
Q.1.1) Plagiarism is identified as the act of taking someone else’s work or ideas and establishing them as your own. Examples of plagiarism include copying a fellow student’s work and acknowledging it as your own. Another example would be taking information from a source and not properly referencing the source’s material.
Referencing is one method that can be used to combat plagiarism. Referencing is the act of acknowledging the work or ideas of an individual and giving credit to the efforts and creativity of others.
Another method to avoid plagiarism is quoting all the relevant sources obtained directly as they appear, in order to evade forgery.
Q.1.2) Students should not plagiarise because it is a form of forgery that is frowned upon in most institutions. Also, it is a punishable offence. The main implications of plagiarism, according to the book A Guide to referencing, plagiarism and copyright (Prof.Du Toit, P) pg. 40, include:
1. The assignment or work will not be accepted and resubmission will be required.
2. Either a penalised mark or a mark allocation of zero will be allocated.
3. Repeated plagiarism results in termination of enrolment or expulsion from the institution.
4. The student will have to appear before a disciplinary committee.
5. The offense will be flagged on the student’s record.
Q.1.3) A Bibliography is one method of citing sources. Prof.Du Toit, P(2013, pg. 15, 16 & 17) states that a bibliography” includes all the sources cited in the text, as well as any additional books, articles, papers, etc.” An example of this method is “Johnson, JL. 1996. Art and the student. 3rd edition. Oxford: Miller Publishing”
Another method of citing sources is In-text referencing which according to Prof.Du Toit, P (2013, pg. 15, 16 & 17) states that it provides “the name of the person that you are referring to, and the date of publication. An example of this method is “In a study by Johnson (1996, pg.30), the writing habits
