You must cite in text and list references using the Heriot-
Watt/Harvard referencing style which
is detailed further in the following section.
You must write your Project Report in third person. It will be
marked down considerably if you
write it in first person.
According to Heriot-Watt University coursework policy, late
submissions will receive a 30%
penalty. 30% of the otherwise achieved mark will be deducted
i.e. If your mark would have been
70% but you submitted late, 70% * 0.7 = 49% which would
mean your mark now is 49%.

6. 3. Referencing Work
Referencing should allow another person to find ALL the books
and articles cited in submissions.
The Harvard Referencing System is one of the most widely used
referencing system in academic
work and is also Heriot-Watt University’s approved system.
The referencing system covers all
types of written materials, with work taken from the Internet
recently covered by an
international agreement.
ALL texts referenced within the body of the diary or written
report must be fully cited within a
Reference section at the end (immediately after conclusions but
before any Appendices).
In your assessed work you are expected to use Harvard
Referencing whenever you cite a course
of information: when you state facts, cite data, or present an
argument informed by your
reading:
• state which sources support your work

7. • if you are presenting a critical analysis also cite the sources
that you are refuting
The library has some excellent information on how and where to
cite using the Harvard
Referencing system.

4. Plagiarism
Plagiarism is the intentional presentation of another person’s
work as your own. This includes copying a
piece of literature and/or another source, and claiming it as own
work. The university has a very strong
policy concerning plagiarism, with the ultimate penalty being

8. expulsion. Any assessments found to
contain plagiarised work will automatically receive a mark of
ZERO, and the person/s responsible will be
referred to the programme leader who may take this to the
University for more formal discipline.
Plagiarism is a serious academic offence.
See:
https://www.hw.ac.uk/uk/students/studies/examinations/plagiari
sm.htm
Self-plagiarism is also considered a disciplinary offence. Self-
plagiarism is defined as using the same piece
of work or parts of the same piece of work in submissions for
different courses, or in different assessments
within the same course.
Please see
https://www.hw.ac.uk/uk/about/profile/governance/ordinances-
regulations.htm for
full information on academic rules.
Before submitting any assessed or written work, students are
advised to read the referencing guidelines.
Specifically, they should ensure that all literature used during

9. the writing of the essay is properly
referenced using the Harvard Referencing System. This is a
marked requirement of submissions
