BUSS2065 Operations Management for Business Page 2 of 15 AIO Instructions Remember, if the question requires a written answer (or part) then this needs to be in your own words. Any copied (even if memorised) material/explanations will not attract marks. At university level an assessment (or parts) that are simply copied from sources, or closely paraphrased, would not constitute analysis nor demonstrate understanding and would normally be awarded a few marks. It is an open book exam therefore normal referencing conventions/requirements still applies-after all; it takes little time to reference. I would remind you of the following basic principles of referencing: • If information is not your own words or ideas, you must acknowledge the source within the text of the paper and in the reference list. • If you use another person's words (i.e. you quote) you must indicate that this is a direct quote (usually by quotation marks) and reference the source (including the page number) within the text of the paper. Including the source in the reference list or bibliography is not sufficient. Changing, deleting, adding only a few words, or rearranging the sentence/paragraph does not negate that fact that you are quoting. • If paraphrasing, you still need to include an in-text reference (which includes the page number ). Take care that the paraphrasing is not 'too close' to the original; i.e. that it is in fact a quote. • The fact that the source of the material is from a textbook, an internet site, course materials and/or the specific author cannot be identified, does not negate the need to acknowledge the source of the ideas or words or to reference correctly. Reminder about paraphrasing. Remember that changing a few words does not make a quote a paraphrase or "in your own words". It is still a quote and must have quotation marks ' ' around it and an in-text reference. If you summarise or paraphrase ideas from somewhere, it does not need quotation marks, but it must still have an in-text reference as it is not your idea. Copying and pasting is never okay. You can find information on paraphrasing by clicking at https://lo.unisa.edu.au/course/view.php?id=3839§ionid=61510 Copying and pasting text into your answers and then altering it gradually by replacing words, rearranging words, using the synonym function in Word to replace words etc. is not paraphrasing. This is not an appropriate method of writing and suggests that the writer cannot write something original for themselves and does not demonstrate understanding. Further, using a translation or paraphrasing tool is not writing in your own words or use of any unattributed AI assisted writing is considered a breach of the Academic Integrity policy.
