font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>Dear students<br>
<br>
Some of you have been emailing us about the return of your assignments and the
appearance of your marks on the Blackboard grade centre. There will be a
delay in returning some assignments to students as we are dealing with potential
plagiarism issues. <br>
<br>
Curtin University's recently implemented plagiarism policy requires that
students observe academic integrity and academics are required to report
plagiarism to a new system. For those in their first year at Curtin there
is a balance between this requirement with the fact that first year students
are still learning about academic integrity - but are required to take it very
seriously. And for those beyond first year or in our graduate programs,
the need to avoid plagiarising the work of others becomes more acute and
something that all students have been made aware of.<br>
<br>
***Please read through the following resources and ensure that you understand
the contents.***<br>
<br>
1. We have made reference to the student Academic Integrity booklet in all unit
outlines: Curtin University. (2011). <i>Academic integrity at Curtin:
Student Guidelines for avoiding plagiarism</i>. Bentley, Perth, Western

style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'> make sure that
before you submit any academic work for marking you have looked at the one-page
checklist available at the back of the booklet and downloadable from here: <a

time you submit work, you sign a cover sheet that declares that you are

4. AND<span style='color:#1F497D'> m</span>ake sure that you use the
