Welcome back to classes from the study break. Our hope is that it was a fruitful time of worship, rest and also writing.
FROM THE ACADEMIC DESK
Tackling plagiarism and academic misconduct
With essay writing now in full swing it is worth having a look at what constitutes academic misconduct and plagiarism, as well as learning how to keep well clear of such problems of academic writing. Itu will run a series of sessions for students to help understand the university policies and also the instruments that are in place to help avoid any problems or misunderstandings. A similar session will be run for faculty.

Rev Cho writes: “We experienced valuable ecumenical solidarity and oneness in Christ…and we were able to reflect upon the 100 years of our General Assembly and to dream for another 100 years ahead, especially the partner relationship we have had with UCA and our role in Asia and in the Pacific.
