Copying words or sentences from various sources, such as the internet, books, course notes, magazines, or any other place, is considered plagiarism.

This practice is strictly prohibited, and Courses Direct does not issue qualifications to those who engage in it as it is considered unacceptable by credible academics around the globe. Plagiarism incidents have indeed affected the reputation of some educational institutions, whereas Courses Direct has a good academic standing due to its zero-tolerance approach to plagiarism.

Upholding this ideal is beneficial to graduates, as it establishes a robust anti-plagiarism policy that ensures the value of their studies and qualifications. Tutors can easily detect plagiarism by using various methods, including web searches, changes in writing style and tone, and level of technical content.

If a student’s submitted work is found to contain plagiarism, the incident is recorded on their records, and they may be required to rewrite and resubmit their work. When evaluating a student’s final course or module result, their overall performance is considered, and any case of plagiarism detected previously is closely observed to ensure that future work complies with anti-plagiarism policies. If a student continues to plagiarize after being warned, they will not benefit fully from the course, and thus will not be granted a pass.
