Understand a UNSW Policy- Plagiarism

Plagiarism happens for a number of reasons—one is because some students decide consciously to gain credit for the work of others. However, most incidents of plagiarism are the product not of deliberate cheating, but of underdeveloped academic skills.

Plagiarism in these cases is a consequence of students' difficulties with the cluster of skills and states of mind needed to be successful in a tertiary learning environment. If you develop these skills your chances of being accused of plagiarism will be greatly reduced.

Problem	Solution
Intellectual insecurity: the 'use your own words' paradox	Find your own voice
Poor time management	Learn to use your time effectively
Lack of a clear argument: not answering the question	Develop a clear argument
Lack of critical/ analytical skills	Asking questions and developing answers
Inadequate research	Read and research more widely
Poor note-taking	Develop note-taking systems
Poor referencing skills	Learn how to acknowledge your sources
Underdeveloped writing skills	Work to improve your writing
Cheating	Don't do it!

The Learning Centres simple guide called “Plagiarism: Essential information for avoiding plagiarism” is available. It is recommended all students read this guide to familiarise themselves with the specific categories of plagiarism that are considered to be unacceptable at UNSW.

For more information on this subject please familiarise with The Learning Centres plagiarism website.
