> We're having a discussion locally about how to word a statement all students
> must sign on the cover sheet of their coursework before handing it in. A
> recently revised statement asks students to declare that the coursework is
> all their own work and to acknowledge any assistance which has been given.
> The aim of the statement is mainly to deal with possible plagiarism, but
> there are concerns that the need to acknowledge assistance may disadvantage
> some students, perhaps those from under-represented groups, who use, or would
> benefit from, language or learning support services.

> Have you had this discussion in your institution? What kind of declaration,
> if any, does your institution ask students to make when they hand in
> coursework?
