Anti-plagiarism awareness campaign launched at the UFS
2007-11-09

 

The Faculty of the Humanities at the University of the Free State (UFS) recently launched an anti-plagiarism awareness campaign on the Main Campus in Bloemfontein. Part of the launch was an exhibition in the foyer of the Flippie Groenewoud building and a slogan competition for students. The winning slogan was: “Copy and paste your studies to waste" from Aldoret Theron, a second-year student in B.Soc.Sc. Human and Societal Dynamics, the second prize went to Jacqueline Pretorius, a second-year student in B.Sc. Medical Microbiology with her slogan: “Plagiaat, die begin van jou lewe op straat", and the third prize was won by Gini Keyser, a third-year student in B.A. General with her slogan "Cloning it is clowning it”. Here are, from the left: Gini Keyser, Aldoret Theron, Prof. Engela Pretorius (Vice-Dean of the Faculty of the Humanities at the UFS), Marizanne Cloete (from the Faculty of the Humanities' Portfolio Committee for Quality Assurance), and Jacqueline Pretorius.
