Cover page: showing your name, student number, the subject name, the subject code the case topic, and the date of submission. UIC assignment cover page is also need to be attached with the assignment.

List of references – an alphabetical listing of the works to which you have referred. The preferred referencing system is the author-date (Harvard) system. If you use material written by others, including other students or colleagues, it must be referenced. If it is not, you are plagiarising and this is a practice not tolerated at UIC.

6.Plagiarism

 

Taking another person’s ideas, words or inventions and presenting them as your own without acknowledging your sources (citing or referencing), is plagiarism. Paraphrasing or rewording another person’s work, without acknowledging its source, is also plagiarism. If you are identified as Plagiarizing the assignment penalties will be imposed.

 

7. Referencing 

 

Correct referencing is important for two main reasons. The first is to enable the reader to access source material you have relied upon, should they care to. The other is to ensure that you have properly recognized the contribution of the work of others to your assignment. If you do not do this properly, you are engaging in plagiarism—the theft, intentional or otherwise, of the intellectual or creative work of others. 

 

UIC will not tolerate plagiarism. It is therefore important that you understand how to avoid it It is important that you adopt a consistent, and adequate, referencing system. The one most widely is Harvard) system.

 

There is referencing supporting materials in the Moodle.
