As an FYP/FYT student, you are required to meet with your Communication Tutor twice to check your reports before the submission of the Final Report.

- Plagiarism refers to paraphrasing or quoting of other people’s work and/or using others’ ideas without appropriate acknowledgement. Students please be very careful about rephrasing or excessive quoting from other sources and make sure to cite all sources. Reports will be checked through Turnitin. Those suspected of containing plagiarized material, including unreferenced diagrams, will be referred to the department for investigation and will be penalized accordingly, including failure of the FYP.
