[QUOTE="anony12, post: 195678, member: 38924"] Hi Jessica, Thanks for your response again and the clear guidance. My case surrounded 'evidence of plagiarism of a sufficiently serious nature' from the main law topic textbook which was sufficient to constitute plagiarism. The panel noted my written statement however took the view that verbatim used from the main law textbook was not properly referenced. I made it clear I was unaware that the amount of verbatim used from the textbook would constitute plagiarism however have accepted the decision and in reflection understand why this would be the case. I had been given previous warnings for poor practice due to untidy/poor referencing and not a proper understanding of it (I struggled with this early on during uni) however due to my poor mental health/financial issues at the time I was unable to apply correct time to properly learn and apply the sufficient level of referencing required. This also caused me to take an interruption from study (the familial financial issues). I will obviously disclose this in the early character and suitability test, however my panel decision was dealt with at school level and the penalty was confined to the exam and not the whole module itself due to it being a first offence of malpractice. The decision also made no mention of dishonesty or deliberate cheating so hoping that would be a positive? Do you think this case itself would likely be refused admission if I provide strong character references from my previous employer who worked with me for two years and if I can get an academic one too? I know there's only so much you can advise but would appreciate your view on this from past experience. Many thanks again! [/QUOTE]
