Annual Letters Part 2 – Collating Data

March 21, 2014

It can in fact be difficult to determine when something becomes an internal complaint.

ACCUSED OF PLAGIARISM???

December 3, 2013

Let’s take the example the student accused of plagiarism. I should say at this point that plagiarism can occur in so many forms and on occasion without the student even knowing, but that’s a different topic altogether…Back to the student, they were brought in for an “informal” chat with their tutor.
