PLAGIARISM

RETS has a zero tolerance for assessment plagiarism

...And may result in 'expulsion' from the course!

Plagiarism

Plagiarism is when you take someone else’s work, words or ideas and pass those off as your own. It includes copying someone else’s work (even from the Learner Guide provided to you) and/or allowing someone to copy your work. If you are working with a group or a team to complete your assessments you must all hand in your own work, in your own words.

Under no circumstances should you copy and paste answers from the internet, Learner Guides, articles or results from searches in internet search engines. The only exception is if you are asked to copy and paste legislation and alike. Your assessment will advise you when copy and paste is accepted – but this is rare.

RETS has a zero tolerance for assessment plagiarism.

RETS does not tolerate plagiarism under any circumstance and will investigate any instances of suspected plagiarism for all submitted assessments.

The consequences of plagiarism include repeating the entire assessment task, with no added time allowances or extensions applied for time spent re-attempting your assessment. Repeat offences may result in expulsion or cancellation of your course without refund.

Please note: RETS will not accept answers created using AI (e.g., ChatGPT). Where use of AI is suspected RETS uses software to review these responses. If students are suspected of using AI to create answers to any of RETS assessments, they will be given a warning. If this behaviour continues students may face expulsion.
