It's a much more indepth course considering its only suposed to be a care assistant.

This is why I believe with a bit of tweaking this should become the new basic veterinary nursing qualification and anything else should be an add on - lets get more qualified nursing staff into practice at a basic level rather than making it harder each year to find training places because many vets simply dont want (for whatever reasons) to train nurses anymore

checked today and I dont think any of ours have been returned for that reason

They have told us not to copy and paste which we haven't been doing! And said re-wording is also considered plagiarism. This is now the 2nd time my students work has been returned. It's a much more indepth course considering its only suposed to be a care assistant.

I have only just taken it on (my boss did it originally and now I will be sharing it with him) - as far as I know not had any comments like that, but then our two are really widely read and are using a lot of different books other than those provided on the list, ( we have some of the books on the list but not all) - I will say some of my really old nursing textbooks have come in very useful

Could that be to do with the anti-plargaism software that colleges and unis use now a days. I got pulled up for it on a personal reflective review of a consultation I did as part of my masters. How can you plagarise your on personal experience!! I,m convinced it just looks for certain words and comes up with this.Has the college not given you access to this software or given you referencing guidelines? - we could scan work from home to make sure this was not going to happen!

How are u finding it? We are quite dissapointed, afew issues which have left my student really low. Keep getting plagiarism as a comment on assignments even if they have been reworded.
