plagiarism

The Whitehouse Institute understands that a great deal of information is available to you about your study topics: on-line, in journals, books and magazines. However, to present the ideas in these works as your own is plagiarism, and runs counter to the teaching and learning philosophy of the Institute where you are being encouraged to develop your own creativity as well as your capacity to critically analyse other people's ideas. Plagiarism is prohibited, where plagiarism is formally recognised as the ‘presentation of thoughts or works of another as one's own' and this may include (but is not limited to):

• Copying or paraphrasing material from any source without due acknowledgment
• Using another's ideas without due acknowledgment
• Working with others without permission and presenting the resulting work as though it was completed independently
• Working with others with permission and not accurately crediting each person's contribution to the final work

Should it be alleged that you have plagiarised, the matter will be investigated in accordance with the Institute's plagiarism policy and procedure. Should it be found that you have plagiarised; penalties will apply and your enrolment could be terminated.
