Academic good practice
The principles of academic good practice go beyond understanding and avoiding plagiarism, although this is a key part of ensuring the academic integrity of your work. This section contains information and advice on academic good practice, including managing your time efficiently, developing good reading and note taking skills and the importance of referencing correctly.
Whilst the guidance is primarily aimed at undergraduates, much of it is relevant to graduate students, particularly those with limited experience of academic writing. It is advisable that you also consult your subject handbook and course tutor for specific advice relevant to your discipline.
