The Learner must gain adequate knowledge and skills related to sport and exercise with regards to:
· The functioning of the different body systems during exercise and sport
· The reactions of the different body systems to sport and physical activity and
· Adaptation of body systems to exercise and sport activities.

14. Plagiarism
Using someone else’s ideas or phrasing and representing those ideas or phrasing as your own, either on purpose or through carelessness, is a serious offense known as plagiarism. The penalties for academic dishonesty at the University of Zululand are very severe and range from failure in a course, to suspension. Please ensure that EVERY piece of academic writing submitted must have the declaration of plagiarism attached as the front page.

DECLARATION
1. I know that “plagiarism” means using another person’s work and ideas without acknowledgement, and pretending that it is one’s own. I know that plagiarism not only includes verbatim copying, but also the extensive (albeit paraphrased) use of another person’s ideas without acknowledgement. I know that plagiarism covers this sort of use of material found in theses, textbooks, journal articles AND on the internet.
2. I acknowledge and understand that plagiarism is wrong, and that it constitutes academic theft.
3. I understand that my work must be accurately referenced. I have followed the rules and conventions concerning referencing laid out according to this academic institution’s rules.
4. This assignment is my own work, or the unique work of a group, if a group assignment.
5. I have not allowed, nor will I in the future allow, anyone to copy my work with the intention of passing it off as his or her own work. I also accept that submitting identical work to someone else (a syndicate essay) constitutes a form of plagiarism.
