including materials downloaded from computer files and the Internet.

b. Students work submitted for assessment is accepted on the understanding that it is the
students’ own effort without falsification of any kind. Cheating or plagiarism will not be
tolerated. Any student found to plagiarize or cheat in any part of their assignment will cause their
assignment to be rejected and this may lead to get (0) in your project.

information with appropriate reference being made in their work and in accordance with the
following styles:

shown in the referencing guide below. You must show that you have searched, accessed and
used at 15-25 references (journal articles). If you borrow phrases, graphs, table… from the

POOR REFERENCING WILL LEAD TO SIGNIFICANT LOSSES IN MARKS


See BELOW
HOW TO REFERENCE?
In-text citation
When you summarise the main ideas. from someone else in your own words, you are also
expected to clearly acknowledge that someone else first wrote about the ideas you have
summarised. Giving proper references shows that you have read the appropriate literature and are
well informed (Devlin, 2004).
“A recommended solution to the problems that students experience is for THEM TO CHECK on
how referencing is done in Books, Journal Articles …etc” (Landau et al., 2002, p. 113).
The reference list is designed to provide information to enable each source that you have cited in
text to be identified. The list should appear at the end of a work, under the heading 'References’
The references should be listed alphabetically by the surname of the first author/editor, or by the
title if no author/editor is given.
