The Context
Performance management is the active process of developing a partnership between employees and
management that helps employees perform optimally and align their personal contributions with the
goals, values, and initiatives of the organization.

levels.

Plagiarism:
Summarised below are some of the key points. You will have committed plagiarism and may
be caught, reported and punished (as described below) if you:
 Copy extensively from the work of others (from sources such as books, magazines,
journals, web sites for example) and submit the work as your own. NB It is acceptable to
refer to the work of others as long as you do not use too much, and reference your
sources properly. If you do not know how to do this, please follow the guidelines given in
the document entitled ‘Adding quotations and references to your written work’ on the
website:
 Copy another student’s work and submit it for assessment under your own name
Allow another student to copy your work and they then submit it for assessment under
their name
The last item is of particular importance; few students seem to understand what it means. You
should be aware that if, for example, you allow another student to borrow your work and they
subsequently copy some of that work and present it as their own, you and they will both be
punished, even though they copied your work.
What happens if you get caught?
Examination Boards may punish offending students in a number of ways. Typically, penalties
range from reducing grades, making students re-sit modules, through to failing students on a
module or an entire award.
The University regards this form of cheating as a serious offence.
