Plagiarism and Referencing

All work submitted to OTEN must be your own work. Plagiarism is the action or practice of taking the thoughts, words or writing of another person without appropriate acknowledgement and using them as your own.

Where you use the work of others it is important to ensure that the author and the source are clearly identified in your assessments through proper referencing. When submitting your assessments remember to sign (or tick in the case of online submissions) the Plagiarism Declaration to indicate that all work submitted is your own.
