What is self-plagiarism?

  • This is when you reuse something from a previous assignment without the use of a source reference. It is okay to use something from a previous assignment as long as you source reference yourself.
  • Remember that the teacher and external examiner also assess based on the work effort, so it is important to cite sources so that it is possible to assess your work effort
  • In general, just don't use yourself. Instead, use the sources
