Assessment Brief 2024
Academic Integrity, Plagiarism, Essay Mills and other Academic Misconduct Offences
You are NOT allowed to copy any information into your assignment without using quotation
marks and a reference – this is ‘plagiarism’ (a type of academic misconduct).
You are NOT allowed to copy from other students (or allow other students to copy from you) –
this is ‘collusion’.
You are NOT allowed to copy from your own assignments on other modules – this is ‘self-
plagiarism’.
You must NEVER buy assignments from websites (essay mills) – this is called ‘contract
cheating’ and it is now illegal in the UK.
Contract cheating is a serious academic misconduct offence and also includes arranging for help
with an assessment such that there is also reasonable doubt as to whose work the assessment
represents. It extends to input from a fellow student, friend, relative, or any other person, with or
without payment of any kind.
Unauthorised use of artificial intelligence (AI) is not allowed and will be treated as academic
misconduct.
If you commit academic misconduct, your mark will be reduced, or, depending on the severity of
the offence you may get 0% for the assignment in question or 0% for the module, and get a
disciplinary warning. Repeat offenders normally face disciplinary action.
Contact academic-skills@herts.ac.uk if you are unsure of the rules or how to avoid academic
misconduct, and you will receive help. Please see the UPRs relating to Academic misconduct here.
