TLC and Plagiarism
To assist UNE staff in the administration of the 'University Policy on Plagiarism and Improper Conduct', TLC has taken the following actions:
Assignment submission
From Semester one 2008 all assignments that can be, must be submitted electronically via the university’s e-Submission system, this will incorporate a software application to determine the originality of assessable work submitted by UNE students. This software is called TurnItIn and will be completely integrated into the e-Submission process.
In order that UNE’s students may use TurnItIn as an educative tool step one of the e-Submission process will be for students to submit their assignment to TurnItIn for checking. This can occur as many times as the student requires in order to receive a satisfactory report. Once the student is satisfied with their report they will then proceed to Step two of the e-Submission process-submitting their assignment for marking.
Assignment Coversheets
From Semester one 2008 assignment coversheets will only be provided for assignments which have been deemed inappropriate to be submitted electronically. In this case the assignment coversheets can be accessed by clicking on the ‘myStudy’ tab and then the ‘Assignments’ link in the myUNE student portal. Students who have received an exemption from the requirement to have computer access will receive their assignment coversheets in the mail. If an assignment coversheet is used it will still require the student to sign a plagiarism declaration to ensure the originality of their work.
