reasonable effort must be made to ensure the data, is appropriately

Plagiarism
What is it?
“In an instructional setting, plagiarism occurs when a writer deliberately uses
someone else’s language, ideas, or other original (not common-knowledge)
material without acknowledging its source”
(Council of Writing Program Administrators, 2014).
Turnitin is a service that helps lecturers and students check if a piece of work
contains sections that are identical to work submitted or published elsewhere. It
is very important that you review the originality report for drafts of your work
carefully prior to your submission deadline to ensure accuracy in your use and
referencing of sources and to avoid an allegation of plagiarism.
