Recording of taught sessions
Some of your taught sessions may be recorded by the University to support your learning, improve accessibility, and give you flexibility to revisit teaching content. If a session is being recorded, you will be told at the start. Recordings are made for educational purposes and are normally made available only to students on the relevant module through approved University systems. If you do not wish any contributions you make in a teaching session to be recorded, you should let your tutor know as early as possible so that appropriate arrangements can be considered. Students must not make, share or use recordings except where this is explicitly permitted by the University.
Referencing your work
If you're using quotations, ideas or information from other people’s work in your essays, coursework or other academic writing, you need to acknowledge the source to avoid committing plagiarism.
