Use of quotations or data from the work of others is entirely acceptable, and is often very valuable provided that the source of the quotation or data is given.

Failure to provide a source or put quotation marks around material that is taken from elsewhere gives the appearance that the comments are ostensibly your own. When quoting word-for-word from the work of another person quotation marks or indenting (setting the quotation in from the margin) must be used and the source of the quoted material must be acknowledged.

3. Sources of quotations used should be listed in full in a bibliography at the end of your piece of work. Students are expected to submit their Written Report relevant to the topic and content area.
