Plagiarism can lead to an assignment failing. Please bear in mind that all the assignments are done in groups and that the grade is a team grade. No distinction is made between the individual effort of each group member in the final result (except in the peer grading). All members of the group get the same grade. That means that if one person from the group plagiarises, all group members are failed. If you do not fully understand what constitutes plagiarism, please ask, as it is not worth taking a risk on this issue and endangering the grade of the whole group. This is particularly relevant if there are people in your group who think that by citing the source they can copy and paste what they want – this is NOT the case.
