RGU utilises "TurnitinUK which is an online service hosted at
www.submit.ac.uk. This enables staff to carry out
electronic comparison of students' work against electronic sources including other students' work."

Why do we feel that this is so important?
1. Students who cheat devalue the Masters Degree2. RGU’s reputation is adversely affected3. It is unfair on majority of hard working students4. I did my MSc in 2006, worked extremely hard, did not cheat and therefore those who do devalue my efforts.
