20 Plagiarism Policy
Plagiarism involves the unacknowledged use of someone else’s work, usually in coursework, and
passing it off as if it were one’s own. Many students who submit apparently plagiarised work
probably do so inadvertently without realising it because of poorly developed study skills,
including note taking, referencing and citations; this is poor academic practice rather than
malpractice. Study skills education within programmes of study should minimise the number of
students submitting poorly referenced work. However, some students plagiarise deliberately, with
the intent to deceive. This intentional malpractice is a conscious, pre-mediated form of cheating
and is regarded as a particularly serious breach of the core values of academic integrity. The
Computer Engineering Programme has zero tolerance for intentional plagiarism.
21 Attendance Policy
Every student must attend 75% of the lectures/seminars delivered in each course and 75% of the
practical/laboratory work prescribed for the respective courses. The students having short of
required percentage of attendance of lectures/seminars/practical/laboratory work, etc., shall not
be allowed to appear in the terminal examination of this course and shall be treated as having
failed this course.
