DECLARATION:
I have read the UCT policy on plagiarism. I know that plagiarism is wrong. Plagiarism is to use another’s work and to
pretend that it is one’s own.
1. I have not used Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to generate any parts of my essay. These include applications that
generate text or online paraphrase tools. I understand that passing off such AI-generated work as my own is a form of
plagiarism since it is also using “another’s work” and pretending that it is my own, or obscuring the words/ideas of another
source.
2. I have used the ……MLA……………… convention for citation and referencing. Each significant contribution to,
and quotation in, this essay/report/project from the work, or works, of other people has been acknowledged through citation
and reference.
● Note that the Department of English Literary Studies prefers MLA citation convention. Refer to the referencing
guidelines here: MLA Purdue
● Librarian page for English students
4. This essay/report/project is my own work. I have not used the material in this essay/report/project in any of my other
essays/reports/projects and understand that re-using material is a form of self-plagiarism.
5. I have read the UCT Collusion Guidelines. I have not allowed, and will not allow, anyone to copy my work with the
intention of passing it off as his or her own work. I have not copied my work from another student, past or present.
6. I understand that uploading any parts of this essay, personal lecture notes, or any other materials I’ve produced in the
process of writing this essay to internet sites that promote plagiarism, directly or indirectly, is considered academic
misconduct.
7. I understand, similarly, that uploading materials provided to me by my lecturers (including lecture slides or materials
prepared by the lecturer(s), course convener(s) or TA for this course specifically) is a contravention of intellectual
property protection laws and I could be held legally liable.
8. I have included internet article references used for this assignment.
