Group assignment

The following assignment, issued in week 10, is to be submitted in week 13 (University week 17), and returned in week 20 (University week 24). Submissions are marked out of 100.

Collaboration and Plagiarism

Students are encouraged to collaborate wherever possible to encourage learning. For work that is assessed on an individual basis, it will be normal practice for collaboration to cease prior to actual work on the item to be assessed. Plagiarism is the unacknowledged use of the thoughts, writings, or inventions of others. This includes software design and code. Plagiarism is regarded as misconduct by the University and will normally result in disciplinary action. You are urged to read the University’s official statement on cheating (including plagiarism). Related information is also available in the booklet “Examination arrangements, information and guidance for candidates” which you will receive prior to taking examinations. If you are in any doubt about how the statement applies to examinations or CAs for particular modules, please consult your tutor.
