Appropriate use of the sources in assignments
Avoiding plagiarism is not just referencing sources used within an assignment. It is taking the source information and critically evaluating it against other sources, your own views and original research on the matter, and how that fits the hypothesis of your assignment topic. It is plagiarism when there is little or no original content in the assignment, regardless of citing sources.

For more information, review the resources at the University’s Writing Centre to assist in appropriate referencing and avoiding plagiarism.

Or complete the Academic Integrity module found within any MyUni course, under the Assignment Help tab. It is important you do not breach the University’s as penalties will be applied to your grade.

Plagiarism detection software Turnitin is used to check assignments. Make sure you familiarise yourself in how to review reports.

Proposal for a Portfolio Management Framework Overview
