Plagiarism
1. Plagiarism, which can be defined as using without acknowledgement another person’s words or
ideas and submitting them for assessment as though it were one’s own work, for instance by
copying, translating from one language to another or unacknowledged paraphrasing. Further
examples of plagiarism are given below:
Use of any quotation(s) from the published or unpublished work of other persons, whether
published in textbooks, articles, the Web, or in any other format, which quotations have not been
clearly identified as such by being placed in quotation marks and acknowledged.
Use of another person’s words or ideas that have been slightly changed or paraphrased to make it
look different from the original.
Summarising another person’s ideas, judgments, diagrams, figures, or computer programmes
without reference to that person in the text and the source in a bibliography or reference list.
Use of services of essay banks and/or any other agencies.
Use of unacknowledged material downloaded from the Internet.
Re-use of one’s own material except as authorised by the department.
2. Collusion, which can be defined as when work that has been undertaken by or with others is
submitted and passed off as solely as the work of one person. This also applies where the work of
one candidate is submitted in the name of another. Where this is done with the knowledge of the
originator both parties can be considered to be at fault.
3. Fabrication of data, making false claims to have carried out experiments, observations, interviews or
other forms of data collection and analysis, or acting dishonestly in any other way.
Plagiarism Detection Software (PDS)
As part of its commitment to quality and the maintenance of academic standards, the University reserves
the right to use Plagiarism Detection Software (PDS), including Turnitin. Such software makes no judgment
as to whether a piece of work has been plagiarised; it simply highlights sections of text that have been found
in other sources.
The use of plagiarism detection software fulfills two functions. The first is to enhance student learning (i.e. as
a developmental tool); the second is to guard against and identify unfair practice in assessment.
Further information and guidance can be found in the University’s policy on the Use of Plagiarism Detection
Software.

Heading Interview Questions:
a. I think that I am going to be successful in this job because I have the
suitable degree for this job. Also, I have ten years working experience in
the same field of the job. Thus, I could benefit the organization from my
previous experiences. I have been participating in various training
courses in the field; therefore, I am aware of the modern information
and strategies of this job. This, privilege helps me to follow up the latest
updates for the job. Furthermore, I have several personal qualities that
qualified me to be productive in this job; such as, open mind, critical
thinking, team working, communication skills, honesty, work ethic,
flexibility, determination, and persistence.
b. The first thing that motivates me is this position because this job is going
to enrich my skills with modern abilities and strategies. Besides, it is a
great chance to me to apply my knowledge and abilities. Also, the
working environment in the organization motivates me to have the
privilege to work in it. Furthermore, the working team is one of the
motivations for me. As I have been searching about the organization, I
found that the organization has an active working team. I a looking
forward to work with this team to learn and share knowledge. Th least
motivation for me is the salary because I believe that the job is a tool of
entertainment rather than a tool of gaining money.
c. Professional integrity means to me that I am going to practice my job
within the rules and guidelines of the job mission with applying the good
moral and ethics in a constant way and voluntarily. I am going to be
honest, faithful, and productive in my job. Furthermore, professional
integrity means to me the essential operator in the work; thus, I could
not work in a job without my professional integrity. In this situation, I am
going to choose my ethics because there is not a job without ethics.
Also, I am going to lose my taste in life when I lose my ethics. Any job
could be replaced by other, but your conscience could not be replaced.
